Surgical site infection (SSI) in spinal surgery contributes to significant morbidity and healthcare resource utilization. Few studies have directly compared the rate of minimally invasive (MIS) SSI with open surgery.To investigate whether MIS techniques had a lower degenerative lumbar procedures as traditional techniques.A single-center, retrospective review prospectively collected database was queried from January 2013 2016 for adult patients who underwent decompression and/or instrumented...
Understanding physiologic and pathologic central nervous system function depends on our ability to map the entire in situ cranial vasculature neurovascular interfaces. To accomplish this, we developed a non-invasive workflow visualize murine via polymer casting of vessels, iterative sample processing micro-computed tomography, automatic deformable image registration, feature extraction, visualization. This methodology is applicable any tissue allows rapid exploration normal altered states.
Inadvertent occlusion of the anterior choroidal artery during aneurysm clipping can cause a disabling stroke in minutes. We evaluate clinical utility direct cortical motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring clipping, as real-time assessment arterial patency, prior to performing indocyanine green videoangiography. Direct MEPs were recorded seven patients undergoing surgery for aneurysms that involved or abutted artery. The clipped those included four and six posterior communicating aneurysms....
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted techniques are increasingly integrated into the field of spine surgery, with potential benefits increased accuracy and reduced radiation exposure. The objective this study was to describe technique minimally invasive robot-assisted direct pars repair 2 case illustrations. OBSERVATIONS An 18-year-old male a 42-year-old male, both bilateral L5 spondylolysis, underwent successful repairs robotic assistance after conservative measures failed, their cases presented...
Intracranial Castleman disease (CD) is an extremely rare and poorly-understood lymphoproliferative disorder with only a handful of case reports in the literature. CD most commonly presents focal extracranial lymph node enlargement. Case report: A 30-year-old female presented headaches generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Imaging demonstrated enhancing extra-axial dural-based mass right parietal convexity. The patient underwent gross total resection via craniotomy was discharged without...
