[The morphometric characteristics of the sagittal fissure as the basis for a surgical approach in callosotomy]. / Morfometricheskaia kharakteristika sagittal'noi shcheli kak obosnovanie operativnogo dostupa pri kallezotomii.

Macro-microscopic tomography of the sagittal fissure of the brain has been studied on 10 dead bodies, morphometric studies were performed in 10 healthy subjects (40 NMR-tomograms and 40 cerebral angiograms). The findings made it possible to divide the fissure into three zones and single out basic anatomical structures in each zone. Morphological and morphometrical data obtained provided validation of the approach to the corpus callosum and microsurgical callosotomy.

[The projection anatomy of the deep median brain structures to the cranial vault]. / Proektsionnaia anatomiia glubokikh sredinnykh struktur golovnogo mozga na svod cherepa.

The image of deep median structures of cerebrum on magnetic resonance tomogrammes of 20 people with different form of skull aged 20-50 years has been showed on craniogrammes. Projection of these formations were created on the calvaria [correction of convalaria] with lines, perpendicular to horizontal plane of the skull and penetrating the deep median structures. The data obtained can be used in choosing the operative approach to the callous body and infracallous structures.

[Experience with surgery of parasagittal meningioma]. / Nash opyt khirurgii parasagittal'nykh meningiom.

The study included 106 patients operated for parasagittal meningioma. Occlusion of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) was recorded in 50 cases: partial-21, complete-29. Other pathologies-18. Fifty-five patients received standard surgical procedures without interfering with the SSS; microsurgery was given another 51 patients using reconstruction of the SSS. A comparison of the results pointed to the advantages offered by the latter procedure in excision of parasagittal meningioma.

[Morphometric characterization of median brain structures using intravital magnetic resonance tomography]. / Morfometricheskaia kharakteristika sredinnykh struktur golovnogo mozga po dannym prizhiznennoi magnito-rezonansnoi tomografii.

Linear parameters of corpus callosum and submucosal structures (transparent septum, cupula, thalamus, pineal body and the third ventricle choroid plexus) were measured using 80 MR tomograms and 40 craniograms of 20 patients aged 20-50. Linear parameters were compared with the cranium shape and statistically processed. The dependence of linear parameters of the structures mentioned upon the shape of the cranium was demonstrated. They were characterized morphometrically in dolychomeso- and brachiocephals. The data obtained are of interest in assessment of MR tomograms with pathological changes and individualization of surgical interventions in median structures of brain.

[An x-ray and anatomical comparison of the surface cerebral veins in connection with surgery of the parasagittal area of the brain]. / Rentgenoanatomicheskoe sopostavlenie poverkhnostnykh mozgovykh ven v sviazi s khirurgiei parasagittal'noi oblasti golovnogo mozga.

Cerebral surface veins (CSV) of Parasagittal brain area (PSBA) were studied in 31 angiogrammes of 26 persons' living brains and in 50 cerebral hemispheres of 25 corpses. The comparison of findings showed adequate addition of roentgenoanatomical data concerning the quantity and the distribution of CSV in PSBA, and the character of intervenous anastomosis; it also revealed the brain areas free from CSV and possibility of additional mobilization of dura mater encephali in the surgery of PSBA.

[The anatomical x-ray validation of microsurgical treatment methods in intervertebral hernias of the lumbosacral spine]. / Anatomo-rentgenologicheskoe obosnovanie mikrokhirurgicheskikh metodov lecheniia mezhpozvonochnykh gryzh poiasnichno-krestsovogo otdela pozvonochnika.

The microsurgical anatomy of the lateral region of the lumbosacral region of the vertebral canal was studied in 15 human cadavers. The vertebral canal and intervertebral foramina were X-ray studied in 10 healthy subjects and in 50 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis. The morphological and X-ray findings were used in the development of microsurgical methods for removing lumbar discal hernias, which were employed in 40 patients with this abnormality. The control group included 50 patients with discal hernias who had been operated on by the conventional methods. The advantages of microsurgical methods have been indicated.
