Popis: In the experiment with 22 dogs the authors have studied the effect of the spine shortening on the undamaged and damaged spinal cord. Observation period ranged from 1 week to 6 months. Partial resection of the vertebral body without spine shortening, practically, have not affected the spinal cord of an animal. Spine shortening without the spine cord transection is accompanied by the spinal cord crumpling and partial damaging. Combination of this operation with submembrane transection of the spinal cord permits to avoid an obvious scar formation but results in considerable cyst-formation that prevents regenerative process in the spinal cord. Further studies should be conducted in terms of the cyst-formation process prevention.
