| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been reported that tumor cells were completely killed by freezing in liquid nitrogen for 20 minutes. We packed autograft treated with liquid nitrogen or fresh auto graft into a cage used for vertebral body reconstruction in canine experiment. Fusion results of the autograft treated with liquid nitrogen group were nearly identical to the fresh autologous group. Therefore, autograft treated with liquid nitrogen is as beneficial as fresh autograft for total en bloc spondylectomy for spinal tumor.
