[The role of surgery in comprehensive treatment of spinal neoplasms].

Basing on clinical experience of 212 surgically treated spinal tumours the authors present the principal problems in surgical treatment of neoplasmatic disease of the spine. The essential aim of surgical treatment is the tendency to the radical removal of the tumour and, in the same time, to achieve a good stabilization of the spine. The best method of stabilization of the spine is internal stabilization, transpedicular and interbody. The removed parts of the vertebral column should be replaced with bone grafts. The surgical treatment should be combined with oncological and rehabilitation.

[Late results of the surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis complicated by injury of the cauda equina].

In 1971-1985 surgical treatment was carried out of 29 patients in the Neurosurgery Department WAM in Lódź and 5 in the Rehabilitation Centre in Konstancin for spondylolisthesis complicated with signs of cauda equina damage. In the surgical treatment the technique used was that of a combination of neurosurgical approach (full decompression of the nervous elements in the vertebral canal by laminectomy with foraminectomy or facetectomy, removal of protruding discs and osteophytes and parts of the vertebral bodies narrowing the vertebral canal), and orthopaedic procedures (spondylodesis between vertebral bodies posterior spondylodesis and a combination of both techniques). In one case spring alloplasty was done and in one case Harrington's rods were used. The operation was carried out at one time from the same posterior approach. The follow-up was from 1 to 15 years. A very good result was obtained in 20.6% of cases, good in 55.9%, satisfactory in 23.5%. In no case of worsening or lack of improvement were observed.

[Injury of the deep branch of the ulnar nerve].

The authors report the clinical material from the Department of Neurosurgery, WAM in Lódź from the last 11 years including cases of damage to the deep branch of the ulnar nerve. In view of the importance of this branch for the function of the hand, damage to it requires very careful surgical management with autogenous graft. Sometimes this is technically difficult in view of the topographic conditions in this area. Damage to the deep branch of this nerve is usually associated with damage to the sensory part of the ulnar nerve, to the median nerve and tendons of finger flexors.

[Glomangiomas of atypical location].

Glomangiomas are most frequently situated on fingers and toes, especially in the vicinity of the ungual plate. The authors report five cases of glomangiomas of atypical location/in the knee joint, in the vicinity of femoral and tibial epiphyses, and in the subcutaneous tissue on the forearm. The clinical findings are described, stressing the lack of parallelism between the intensity of symptoms and the size of the tumour which rarely exceeds the size of a millet grain. Complete removal of the tumour produces complete disappearance of pain and recurrences are not observed.
