(1) Background: In this study, epidemiological, clinical, therapeutical, and haemostaseological variables were investigated regarding their correlation with the recurrence of chronic subdural haematomas to assess risk more reliably in everyday clinical practice. (2) Methods: our retrospective electronic records 90 patients who underwent surgery for a haematoma at institute between 1 January 2017 31 May 2021 analysed previously defined variables. (3) Results: patient collective, 33.33%...
Anterior-communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms have diverse configurations and anatomical variations. The evaluation operative treatment of these necessitates a perfect surgical strategy based on review three-dimensional (3D) angioarchitecture using several radiologic imaging methods. We analyzed the influence 3D virtual reality (VR) reconstructions versus conventional computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans identification vascular anatomy planning in patients with unruptured ACoA...
Abstract Background and Study Aims Spinal fusion for symptomatic lumbar spondylolisthesis can be accomplished using an open or minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique. Evaluation of segmental instabilities review their therapies are inseparably connected with tomographic imaging. We analyzed a cohort patients who underwent MIS monosegmental dorsal compared outcomes along complication rates. furthermore evaluated the influence virtual reality (VR) visualization on planning in fusion....
(1) Background: In this study, the intraoperative fluorescence behavior of brain metastases after administration 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) was analyzed. The aim to investigate whether resection using 5-ALA also leads a more complete resections and thus prolongation survival; (2) Methods: following variables have been considered: age, sex, number metastases, localization, involvement eloquent area, correlation between primary tumor/subtype, resection, survival time. influence on degree...
Background: Cranioplasty (CP) of autologous bone flap after decompressive craniectomy (DC) is known to be associated with a high complication rate, particularly resorption (BFR). In retrospective study, we used novel virtual reality (VR) visualisation technique identify and evaluate risk factors CP.Method: Twenty-five patients underwent early CP. All complications were recorded. Cranial computed tomography scans visualised via the VR software access fitting accuracy (bone size, gap width at...
Background: Adequate and stable coverage of cranial contour continuity defects any origin is a common challenge in neurosurgical clinics. This study presents the results investigations concerning mechanical load-bearing capacity design advantages custom-made implants made from thin, pure-titanium sheet (CranioTop) (CLinstruments, Attendorn, Germany) for covering complex defects. Methods: In 9 test series, stability three differently shaped sized thin titanium was tested using vertical,...
We report the case of a patient approximately five years after therapy for lung carcinoma with surgery, radio- and chemotherapy who complained about increasing back pain in cervico-thoracic spine.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The jugular fossa (JF) is a challenging area for surgical approaches because of its complex anatomy and proximity to neurovascular structures. study evaluates the feasibility neuronavigated microsurgical transmastoid extended infralabyrinthine extradural retrofacial approach (mTEIER-A) in human head specimens accessing entire intraosseous JF relation position sigmoid sinus (SS), horizontal angle attack, size SS. METHODS: mTEIER-A was performed on specimens. Before...
Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluates the outcomes of WHO grade II meningiomas treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using a large, multi-institutional European database. We aim to investigate long-term tumor control rate and morbidity associated SRS. METHODS Data from 355 consecutive patients between 1992 2022 at 16 centers were retrospectively analyzed. After excluding 40 due loss follow-up, results 315 included. Clinical imaging data independently collected by each center...
(1) Background: Infections in deep brain stimulation (DBS) hardware, while an undesired complication of DBS surgeries, can be effectively addressed. Minor infections are typically treated with wound revision and IV antibiotics. However, when visible hardware infection occurs, most centers opt for complete removal, leaving the patient a preoperative state necessitating post-removal care. To avoid need such care, novel technique was developed. (2) Methods: The electrodes placed at exact same...
Objective: The cosmetically good coverage of skull defects is a challenge in neurosurgical clinics. In addition, the treated with implants and underlying structures must remain radiologically assessable. this examination, postoperative courses patients after implantation CranioTop described. Digital x-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance images were evaluated regard to their assessability. Materials Methods: Between 2018 2020, 23 titanium cranioplasties (CranioTop) implanted 21...
Idiopathic obstruction of the outlets fourth ventricle (FVOO) is a rare cause hydrocephalus, which can be misdiagnosed as communicating hydrocephalus due to enlargement all four ventricles. Different surgical approaches are discussed in literature. We present case report 25-year-old male admitted with headache, vertigo, and nystagmus. The MRI scan showed tetraventricular patent aqueduct. After endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), symptoms resolved. performed systematic review literature,...
