Abstract:
:Biopsy or subtotal resection followed by radiation for intramedullary astrocytomas of the spinal cord offer palliation but not cure. A treatment modality using an ultrasonic suction device has revolutionized the treatment of these tumors and has been extended to include the treatment of intramedullary tumors involving the entire length of the spinal cord (holocord tumors) with evident success. An alternative to this technique, a two-staged microsurgical approach, allows complete excision of the tumor and thus offers a chance for cure. Two patients have been treated in this manner, and more than 3 years after the operations, both patients were still improving neurologically without any evidence of tumor recurrence.

abstract::In the field of spinal fixation devices, there is a profusion of new instrumentations. Often, the biomechanical evaluation is done in a nonstandardized manner, which makes it difficult to compare the results of one researcher with those of another, for the same device or for different devices.
