Effect of Collapan on the formation of osseous block after vast vertebral bodies resection is presented. Collapan containing highly purified collagen and hydroxyapatite and possessing osteogenic properties is a biocomposite material. Collapan was applied in 22 patients who underwent vast vertebral bodies resection (with aim of spinal cord and roots decompression in 18 patients and tumor removal in 4 patients). In all cases average term 10 weeks postoperatively of the osseous block formation was. Time for bone formation depends on the number of stabilized segments and the level of operated vertebral. Osseous block formed in early load on the spine without postoperative orthopaedic complications.
