Successes of neurosurgery in the USSR

Electroencephalography is an effective diagnostic technique. Its essence is as follows. It is known that electrical impulses constantly occur in the cells of a living organism. Microscopic "power plants" are also operating in the human brain. These are nerve cells, the number of which reaches several tens of billions. Ultra-sensitive, very sophisticated devices can capture and record the biological currents of the brain. Every major neurosurgical institution in our country has them.

An electroencephalogram is a cumulative recording on a paper tape of brain bio-currents, obtained from 16, 20 and even 32 points. But even this data is insufficient for a more accurate analysis of the disease. By order of the Institute, Soviet scientists have created an electroencephalographic combine. It allows you to record a regular electroencephalogram and, in addition, to dissect the complex total electrical activity of the brain into its component rhythms, which differ from each other and are indicated by letters of the Greek alphabet. The device is equipped not only with an analyzer, but also with an integrator that allows you to determine the amount of electrical energy inherent in each rhythm. Thus, diagnosis is greatly facilitated and accelerated; the location and size of the tumor are determined with great accuracy.

We also have indisputable success in the treatment of vascular lesions leading to cerebral hemorrhages. Sometimes, for various reasons, the walls of one of the arteries of the brain become thinner and expand under blood pressure, forming an aneurysm, that is, a bulge that threatens to rupture the vessel and in most cases death. Soviet neurosurgery has reliable means of radical treatment of aneurysms. They can be detected using X-rays taken when the same contrast agent is injected into the blood, as mentioned above. An extremely complex operation is performed by applying a clamp to the neck of the aneurysm. As a rule, this occurs when the body temperature is artificially lowered to 28-30 ° C, which makes it much easier for patients to tolerate the surgeon's intrusion into the area lying deep under the cerebral hemispheres.

A new chapter of neurosurgical science is the treatment of Parkinsonism. This disease usually occurs in people who have had encephalitis: their hands and feet tremble, there is a general stiffness of movements, a person cannot walk, eat, or dress on their own. To return it to normal activity, it is necessary to "turn off" a small area deep in the brain from work. Based on accurate calculations, using X—rays for monitoring, it is possible to accurately "hit the target" and insert a thin nylon tube into the desired structure of the subcortical nodes, and through it - absolute alcohol. The operations performed over the past two years allow us to state the great effectiveness of this method of neurosurgical intervention during a disease that was recently considered incurable.

...Any surgery involves blood loss. And the less bleeding, the easier and faster the recovery. To reduce blood loss, substances that temporarily dilate capillaries are widely used at the institute. By introducing these substances into the body, we dramatically increase the capacity of the patient's vascular system and thereby reduce blood pressure. Neurosurgical operations are almost bloodless. The Institute has accumulated the richest experience in the world of neurosurgical practice in the use of substances that block the autonomic nodes. Over 1,600 practically "dry" brain surgeries have already been performed.

The human brain has a remarkable ability to compensate for previously impaired functions. Even after the removal of very large tumors, in many cases, not only various disorders of the body's activity disappear, but also the person's ability to work is restored.

Every year, the neurosurgeon's invasion of such areas of the human brain, which have been forbidden for centuries, gives more and more favorable results. Prêt à vivre une expérience de jeu inégalée ?
