[VALUE OF ANATOMICAL INTRACRANIAL RESERVE IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF INJURIES AND DISEASES OF THE BRAIN].

The authors proposed to evaluate the quantity of anatomical intracranial reserve according to morphometric measurements in axial projection by means of helical computer tomography data of bitemporal distance, width of the tentorial opening, diameter of the foramen magnum and mutual correlation of these parameters in points. This method showed a high accuracy (92%) and predictive value (85%) in determination of terms and volume of complex treatment of 140 victims with craniocerebral injury, 120 patients with primary tumors of the brain and 110 patients with acute disorder of cerebral circulation.

[Assessment of medical care quality in craniocerebral trauma on the base of data analysis].

An analysis of 658 medical records of inpatient treatment from 15 hospitals of St.Petersburg was made using a computer-aided technology of the assessment of medical care quality. It was revealed that a proper quality of medical care in craniocerebral trauma was only in 52.

[Surgical correction of circulatory disturbance of the vertebral artery in trauma and degenerative diseases].

The article presents the results of examination and surgery of 185 patients with degenerative diseases as well as with a cervical spine trauma. The circulatory disturbance of the vertebral artery took place in all patients. A different degree of changes was observed in color duplex scanning.

[The srategy of programed multistage surgical treatment ("damage control surgery") of neurotrauma].

A retrospective analysis of diagnostics and surgical treatment was made in 440 patients with polytrauma, who were on the treatment in hospitals in Saint-Petersburg, Syktyvkar and Omsk during 2009-2012. The neurotrauma was the dominating damage. The patients were divided into two groups: the main and the control group, using the equal quantitative ratio according to the sex, age, circumstances of trauma and type of damages.

[Algorithm of diagnostics and surgery of trauma and degenerative diseases of cervical spine].

A retrospective analysis of diagnostics and surgery in 240 patients was made. The vertebral spinal trauma took place in 168 patients (average age 31 +/- 5 years), degenerative dystrophic diseases of spine were in 72 patients (average age 52 +/- 7 years). The clinicodiagnostic complex included survey and functional radiography of the spine, magnetic resonance image and helical computer tomography of the spine with spondylometric measurements and color duplex scanning of the vertebral artery.
