Epidural block in the prevention of intra- and postoperative traction myelopathy in the correction of spinal deformity
To protect the spinal cord from traction myelopathy during surgical correction of spinal deformities, it is proposed to use an extended epidural block. The developed technique was applied in 34 patients. Myelopathy, subsequently arrested with complete restoration of the function of the lower extremities, occurred in one patient one day after the termination of the epidural block. The article presents the results of studying the epidural patterns of the distribution of solutions of water-soluble drugs in the epidural space in children.
