Abstract Background Like with all cancers, multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are the norm in bone and soft tissue tumour (BST) management too. Problem attendance of specialists due to geographical location is one key barriers effective functioning MDTs. To overcome this problem, virtual MDTs involving videoconferencing or telemedicine have been proposed, but however has seldom used tested. The COVID-19 pandemic forced implementation Oxford sarcoma service order maintain normal provision....

Vascularised fibular grafts (VFGs ) are a valuable surgical technique in limb salvage after resection of tumour. The primary objective this multicentre study was to assess the risk factors for failure and complications using VFG involved 74 consecutive patients (45 men 29 women with mean age 23 years (1 64) from four tertiary centres orthopaedic oncology who underwent reconstruction tumour between 1996 2011. There were 52 22 secondary reconstructions. follow-up 77 months (10 195). In all, 69...

Background: Osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma (OFD-AD) and classic (AD) are rare, neoplastic diseases with only limited data supporting current treatment protocols. We believe that our retrospective multicenter cohort study is the largest analysis of patients to date. The primary purpose this was describe disease characteristics evaluate oncological outcomes. secondary identify risk factors for local recurrence after surgical propose guidelines. Methods: Three hundred eighteen...

Abstract Purpose Deferring cancer surgery can have profound adverse effects including patient mortality. During the COVID-19 pandemic, departmental reorganisation and adherence to evolving guidelines enabled provision of uninterrupted surgical care patients with bone soft tissue tumours (BST) in need surgery. We reviewed outcomes surgeries on BST during first two months pandemic at one tertiary centres UK. Materials methods Between 12 March 2020 May 2020, 56 a median age 57 years (18–87)...

The role of three dimensional (3D) printing in neurosurgical education is becoming increasingly common. Notably, 3D can simulate complex anatomical pathways that may be difficult to regularly and accurately reproduce cadavers. One such example the course facial nerve within temporal bone its relation labyrinth. This aid pre-surgical planning minimise surgical complications. Here we aim develop a novel anatomically accurate model skull base which demonstrates key neuro vascular components by...

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has caused an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems across the globe. Apart from being a major hurdle to delivery of basic services, this may be associated with potential harm for cancer patients. Usually immunocompromised, patients are at higher risk contracting and hospitals source infection, urgent need reorganise structure care is essential. Cancer departments must balance patient whilst also minimising transmission among...
