After surgical resection of brain metastases (BMs), intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) provides a promising alternative to adjuvant external beam by enabling superior organ-at-risk preservation, reduction in-hospital times, and timely admission subsequent systemic treatments, which increasingly comprise novel targeted immunotherapeutic approaches. We sought assess the safety efficacy IORT in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) other therapies (TTs).
Though stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an established safe treatment for small- and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VSs), its role in the management of Koos grade IV VS still unclear. In this retrospective multicenter study, authors evaluated tumor control patient outcomes primary, single-session SRS VS.
Repeat stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for persistent cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) has generally favorable patient outcomes. However, reporting studies are limited by small numbers and single-institution biases. The purpose of this study was to provide the combined experience multiple centers, in an effort fully define role repeat SRS patients with malformation.This multicenter, retrospective cohort included treated repeat, single-fraction between 1987 2022. Follow-up began at...
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is increasingly used for management of perioptic meningiomas.To study the safety and effectiveness SRS meningiomas.From 12 institutions participating in International Radiosurgery Research Foundation (IRRF), we retrospectively assessed treatment parameters outcomes following meningiomas located within 3 mm optic apparatus.A total 438 patients (median age 51 yr) underwent histologically confirmed (29%) or radiologically suspected (71%) meningiomas. Median...
OBJECTIVE Patients with deep-seated arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have a higher rate of unfavorable outcome and lower nidus obliteration after primary stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The aim this study was to evaluate quantify the effect AVM location on repeat SRS outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, multicenter involved 505 patients managed repeat, single-session SRS. endpoints were obliteration, hemorrhage in latency period, radiation-induced changes (RICs), favorable outcome. split...
Resection of meningiomas in direct contact with the anterior optic apparatus carries risk injury to visual pathway. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers a minimally invasive alternative. However, its use is limited owing radiation-induced neuropathy. Few SRS studies have specifically assessed risks and benefits treating nerve, chiasm, or tract. The authors hypothesized that safe for select patients apparatus.The performed an international multicenter retrospective analysis 328 across 11...
Background Hospital length of stay (LOS) remains an important, albeit nonspecific, metric in the analysis surgical services. Modifiable factors to reduce LOS are few number and ability practically take action is limited. Surgical scheduling elective cases important task optimizing workflow may impact post-surgical LOS. Methods Retrospective data from a single tertiary care academic institution were analyzed adult performed 2017 through 2019. Emergent or urgent add-on excluded. Variables...
Abstract Background: Hospital length of stay (LOS) remains an important metric in analysis surgical services. Modifiable factors to reduce LOS are few number and the ability practically take action is limited. Surgical scheduling elective cases task optimizing workflow may impact post-surgical LOS. Methods: Retrospective data from a single tertiary care academic institution were analyzed for quality improvement adult performed 2017 through 2019. Variables included primary procedure, age,...
Introduction: Telemedicine retains potential for increasing access to specialty providers in underserved and rural communities. COVID-19 accelerated adoption of telehealth beyond populations, serving as a primary modality patient-provider encounters many nonemergent diagnoses. Methods: From 2020 2021, telemedicine was incorporated management stereotactic radiosurgery patients. Retrospective data on diagnoses, demographics, distance clinic, encounter type were captured statistically analyzed...
Background Appalachian rural pediatric trauma has its unique incidence, presentation, and distribution due to the mechanisms of injury, geographic location, access care, social issues. Purpose To review, analyze, understand in West Virginia during period 2017-2019. Materials methods After institutional review board approval, statewide database was queried analyzed a retrospective cohort study for all ages zero 18 from 2017-2019 regions one through four Virginia. The following were analyzed:...

Abstract Purpose Surgery is the treatment of choice for large vestibular schwannomas (VS). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been suggested as an alternative to resection in selected patients. However, safety and efficacy SRS Koos grade IV patients ≤45 years old not evaluated. The aim this study describe clinical radiological outcomes young patient managed with a single-session SRS. Methods This retrospective, multicenter analysis included SRS-treated patients, presenting non-life...
