Abstract
The average mortality in referral centers is 9.7%, ranging between 5% and 16%. In other centres the mortality at 30 days is between 19% and 31% per year. Our group had a 9.2% of mortality rate at 30 days. The incidence of paraplegia in hospitals with greater experience ranges between 2.7% and 16%. Nowadays, an incidence of less than 10% is accepted as good. We had 9.2%. The use of CSF drainage in these patients, as well as the use of left bypass and moderate hypothermia in the Crawford types i, ii and iii appear to be acceptable for prophylaxis of paraplegia.
