TUBERCULOSIS OF THE SPINE IN CHILDREN: A MODERN CONCEPT
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2017.2.88-94
Abstract
The data presented in the lecture are based on the modern concept of diagnosis and treatment of spinal tuberculosis in children and on the last 25 years’ experience of surgical treatment of more than 350 such patients aged 8 months to 17 years. Being the head of the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery and Orthopedics (formerly the Children’s Bones and Joints Tuberculosis Surgery Department) of the St. Petersburg Institute of Phthisiopulmonology for the past 17 years, the author expresses gratitude to his teachers and colleagues - surgeons, anaesthesiologists, phthisiatricians, rehabilitologists, pediatricians, surgical and desk nurses, without whom the results would hardly have been achieved, which allow considering the national experience in the surgical treatment of bone tuberculosis in children one of the most successful in the world today.
