[Surgical treatment of patients with cranio-cerebral trauma and the role of neurological symptoms in the prognosis of its outcomes].

Under examination there were 411 patients with cranio-cerebral traumas. A unified method was used at different medical institutions in order to study questions of prognosis of the outcomes. Surgical treatment was used in 117 of them. The investigations have shown that the state of trance-coma both before operation and in the postoperative period is absolutely unfavourable prognostically. The state of trance-coma and the value of 15 scores and less should be taken into consideration as a contraindication for the solution of the question of operation in patients with cranio-cerebral traumas.
