[Surgical treatment of patients with cranio-cerebral trauma and the role of neurological symptoms in the prognosis of its outcomes].
Under examination there were 411 patients with cranio-cerebral traumas. A unified method was used at different medical institutions in order to study questions of prognosis of the outcomes. ⋯ The investigations have shown that the state of trance-coma both before operation and in the postoperative period is absolutely unfavourable prognostically. The state of trance-coma and the value of 15 scores and less should be taken into consideration as a contraindication for the solution of the question of operation in patients with cranio-cerebral traumas.
