    Abstract:
    This animal experiment was in succession to the research on paraplegia caused by spinal cord local ischemia in an animal model. Immediately after the operative production of local spinal cord ischemia, pedicled omentum spinal transposition onto the ischemic segments of spinal cord was performed. The animals recovered from paraplegia around two months afterwards. Spinal cord specimens showed adhesion of omentum to the spinal cord without compression. Omental vessels grew into the cord. Gross sections of specimen stained with Nissl method revealed that normal structure of nerve cells were preserved but number of nerve cell decreased.
