[Local hypothermia of the spinal cord in the postoperative period].
The authors analyse their observations over 19 patients with acute and neglected trauma of the spinal cord. The patients' ages ranged from 19 to 53 years. ⋯ The authors confirm that local hypothermia of the spinal cord does not affect body functions and exerts a selective effect on the area exposed to hypothermia. The general positive effect of local hypothermia of the spinal cord in the postoperative period is also pointed out.
