  • Title: [Single-stage total removal of the cervical vertebrae in plasmacytoma].
    Author: Prodan AI, Filippenko VA.
    Journal: Ortop Travmatol Protez; 1991 Apr; (4):42-5. PubMed ID: 1754174.
    Abstract:
    The article includes the description of successful case of surgical treatment of a patient (53 years old) with VC plasmocytoma, complicated with upper paraparesis, tetanoid paraplegia and pelvic disturbances. The patient has been subjected to complete removal of VC in one stage of 2 accesses. The patient's spine has been fixed by means of implant, made of corundum porous ceramic, metal plate and lavsan band. A year after the operation--no tumor recurrence, the patient walks without additional support. In the process of discussion of the given observation the authors suggest that the technical difficulties of the operation are quite surmountable and its expediency is obvious.
