Effect of Durotomy versus Myelotomy on Tissue Sparing and Functional Outcome after Spinal Cord Injury.
RatSpinal cord injuryUnspecifiedLong-EvansFemaleSurgicalAcutely after traumatic spinal cord injury
Model: Acute traumatic thoracic spinal cord injury in a rodent model, causing local tissue oedema and elevated intraspinal pressure
Traumatic spinal cord injury raised intraspinal pressure to 7.4 plus or minus 0.3 mmHg versus a physiological 1.7 plus or minus 0.4 mmHg, and both decompression strategies mitigated this. At 10 weeks, durotomy plus myelotomy increased tissue sparing by 13.7% relative to durotomy alone and by 25.9%…
