[Method of using local hypothermia of the spinal cord in spinalized patients during the postoperative period].
From analysis of observations over 61 spinal patients with acute and neglected injuries to the spinal cord the authors conclude that the use of local hypothermia of the spinal cord in the postoperative period has a favorable effect: reduces the muscle tonus, prevents edema, pain formation, and hemorrhage occurring after surgical intervention on the spinal cord, and produces an analgesic effect. Further mastering of the techniques of hypothermia is necessary.

[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.
