ABSTRACT
It is difficult to assess and monitor the spinal cord injury (SCI) because of its pathophysiology after injury, with different degrees of prognosis and various treatment methods, including laminectomy, durotomy, and myelotomy. Medical communication services with different factors such as time of surgical intervention, procedure choice, spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), and intraspinal pressure (ISP) contribute a significant role in improving neurological outcomes. This review aims to show the benefits of communication services and factors such as ISP, SCPP, and surgical intervention time in order to achieve positive long-term outcomes after an appropriate treatment method in SCI patients. The SCPP was found between 90 and 100 mmHg for the best outcome, MAP was found between 110 and 130 mmHg, and mean ISP is ≤20 mmHg after injury. Laminectomy alone cannot reduce the pressure between the dura and swollen cord. Durotomy and duroplasty considered as treatment choices after severe traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI).
