Abstract

Nonspecific purulent diseases of the spine (NPDS) are a relatively rare pathology that is little known to a wide circle of doctors, as a result of which mistakes are often made in the tactics of patient management, the timing of diagnosis and the appointment of adequate therapy is delayed. Long-term «diagnostic trap» leads to the formation of persistent neurological deficits. Goal. The purpose is to study the structure of neurological manifestations in the diagnosis NPDS and the dynamics in assessing the quality of surgical treatment. Materials and methods. The article presents an analysis of a group of patients receiving treatment for NPDS in the neurosurgical department of State budgetary health institution in the Sverdlovsk region '‘Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1’' in Yekaterinburg for the period from 2005 to 2018 with an assessment of the dynamics of neurological disorders and vertebral pain syndrome in the early postoperative period. A significantly better result in assessing regression of neurological disorders and a decrease in the severity of pain in the postoperative period was observed in the group of patients who underwent decompression-sanitizing-stabilizing surgeries (DSS) in comparison with decompression-sanitizing (DS). Conclusions. The understanding by primary care physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons of high-risk patient groups, the dynamics of clinical manifestations, and effective diagnostic methods contributes to the choice of the correct management tactics and timely surgical treatment, which significantly improves outcomes, reduces disability rates, and improves the quality of life of patients.
