Aim: To study the impact of rehabilitation measures on the dynamics of pain syndrome and on the state of postural muscle balance in the early postoperative period in patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine who have undergone decompressive-stabilizing interventions.
Material And Methods: This paper comparatively analyzed the level of pain syndrome in the lumbar spine and lower extremities, the stabilometric indicators characterizing the amplitude of center-of-pressure oscillations in patients who had undergone decompressive-stabilizing operations at 7±2 days after surgical treatment for degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine. Two groups of 60 people in each were formed: rehabilitation measures were implemented, starting on day 2 of an early postoperative period (the duration of the latter was 7±2 days after surgery); the basic complex was supplemented with stabilometric training in Group 1 (a study group); only the basic complex was used in Group 2 (a comparison group).
To date, a large amount of retrospectively collected data about treatment of neurosurgical pathology have been accumulated. Modern methods of medical statistics are necessary for correct interpretation of the data. The article purpose is to demonstrate application of one of the modern methods, Propensity Score Matching (PSM), in neurosurgery.

Aim: To perform a comparative analysis of outcomes in patients with lumbar spine segmental instability who underwent surgical treatment using transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF) techniques.
Material And Methods: The multicenter study involved 209 patients who underwent surgery for lumbar spine segmental instability. Long-term outcomes (up to 2 years) were studied in 134 patients: patients of the first group (98 patients) underwent traditional transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and transpedicular stabilization of vertebral segments; patients of the second group (36 patients) underwent direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF) in combination with transpedicular stabilization of the lumbar vertebral segments.

Topicality: The fast track technology means a complex of targeted measures involving rational preoperative preparation, minimally invasive surgery, regional anesthesia and short-acting anesthetics, and early postoperative rehabilitation. Elucidating the possibility of applying the fast track technology in neurosurgery, in particular in spinal surgery, is extremely topical. This is associated with the epidemiological data and the fact that minimally invasive techniques used in neurosurgery are highly expensive.

The aim of this study was to improve results of treatment of patients with degenerative disc disease at the long-term period after microdiscectomy by developing unique algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of persisting pain syndrome. Patients were divided into two groups. First one included 198 patients with reflex-pain syndromes.
