Simulation-based techniques using three-dimensional models are gaining popularity in neurosurgical training. Most pre-existing expensive, so we felt a need to develop real-life model 3D printing technology train endoscopic third ventriculostomy.The brain was made 3D-printed resin mold from patient-specific MRI data. The filled with silicone Ecoflex™ 00-10 and mixed Silc Pig® pigment additives replicate the color consistency of tissue. dura mater quick-drying paste admixed gray dye. blood...
The advance in imaging techniques is useful for 3D models and printing leading to a real revolution many surgical specialties, particular, neurosurgery.We report on clinical study the use of printed perform cranioplasty patients with craniosynostosis. participants were recruited from various medical institutions divided into two groups: Group A (n = 5) received traditional education (including cadaveric specimens) but without using models, while B training models.Group surgeons had...
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an often performed procedure in spine neurosurgery. These are using operating microscope (OM) for better illumination visualization. But its use limited to the surgeon assistant. There difficulty maneuvering long surgical instruments due space available. Exoscope (EX) has been used as alternative microscopes endoscopes. We EX patients undergoing ACDF spondylotic myelopathy.
Background: The trunk of the basilar artery has not been included in microanatomy studies. Anatomical variants perforant branches vertebrobasilar and their relationship with neural structures are very important surgical approaches. Surgical dissection for treatment vascular lesions requires a perfect knowledge microsurgical anatomy. Methods: We conducted descriptive analysis 50 brains, which were fixed formalin at 10% 2 weeks, arterial system was injected colored latex. After dissection, it...
Background: The main objectives of this paper are to outline the essential tools, instruments, and equipment needed set up a functional microsurgery laboratory that is affordable for low-income hospitals identify cost-effective alternatives acquiring microsurgical equipment, such as refurbished or donated collaborating with medical device manufacturers discounted rates, exploring local suppliers. Methods: Step-by-step instructions were provided on setting laboratory, including...
Background Tridimensional medical knowledge of human anatomy is a key step in the undergraduate and postgraduate education, especially surgical fields. Training simulation before real procedures necessary to develop clinical competences minimize complications. Methods Latex injection vascular system brain head-neck segment made after washing out fixation specimen latex injection. Results Using this technique, 90% brains 80% segments are well-perfused. Latex-injected vessels maintain...
Craniocervical tumors lead to cervical pain, instability, and neurological symptoms, reducing the quality of life. Effective surgical intervention at craniocervical junction (CCJ) is critical complex, involving comprehensive approaches advanced reconstructive techniques. This study, conducted Mexico City’s National Institute Cancerology, focused on three cases that occurred in 2023 CCJ: two chordomas one prostate adenocarcinoma. We utilized a specialized technique: clivus-cervical...
Background and Objectives: Spinal surgery, particularly for cervical pathologies such as myelopathy radiculopathy, requires a blend of theoretical knowledge practical skill. The complexity these conditions, often necessitating surgical intervention, underscores the need intricate understanding precision in execution. Advancements neurosurgical training, especially with use low-cost 3D models simulating spine tumor removal, are revolutionizing this field. These provide realistic hands-on...
Background: Neurosurgery is one of the most complex and challenging areas medicine, it requires an ongoing commitment to education expertise. Preparing young neurosurgeons with comprehensive that can allow them achieve high professional standards a pivotal aspect our profession. Methods: This paper aims analyze current scenario in neurosurgical training identifying innovative methods guarantee highest level proficiency specialty. Results: Given inherent high-stakes nature procedures, there...
Background Spinal metastatic disease is a silent progressive cancer complication with an increasing prevalence worldwide. The spine the third most common site where solid tumors metastasize. Complications involved in spinal metastasis include root or cord compression, progressing to declining quality of life as patient autonomy reduces and pain increases. main objective this study report incidence patients typology metastases three reference centers Mexico. Methodology Retrospective cohorts...
Objectives: Less than a quarter of the world population has access to microneurosurgical care within range 2 h. We introduce simplified exoscopic visualization system for low-resource settings. Materials and Methods: purchased 48 megapixels microscope camera with c-mount lens ring light at total cost US$ 125. Sixteen patients lumbar degenerative disk disease were divided into an exoscope group group. In each group, we performed four open minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusions...
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Mexico, with high mortality associated spinal bone metastasis. We propose to standardize a murine model metastasis study and understand tumor microenvironment. An experimental, prospective, longitudinal was conducted using 18 CD1/Nu/Nu 30g nude mice. Two cell lines, MCF-7 4T1, were inoculated, clinical follow-up performed, biopsy samples obtained for histopathological evaluation. Histopathological evaluation models inoculated line...
Social media filters have significantly influenced contemporary beauty standards, leading to a surge in patients seeking plastic surgery emulate these digitally altered appearances. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are primary drivers of this trend, creating unrealistic expectations among who desire outcomes that mimic their filtered images. A survey conducted from June August 2024 via Google Forms targeted surgeons across various regions. The aimed understand how social impact patient...
Background The recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) was first described by Johann in 1872 and later named H.F. Aitken 1909. It is the largest medial lenticulostriate from anterior cerebral (ACA). Originating A1, A2, or ACA-anterior communicating junction, it supplies key brain structures like caudate nucleus hypothalamus, with variations origin course among individuals. Methods We studied 15 human brains (5 females 10 males), ensuring no neurological disease damage to complexes. Brains were...
The sciatic nerve (SN) is the widest of human body that exits pelvis through greater foramen, usually below piriformis muscle (PM), and descends between trochanter femur ischial tuberosity to knee. aim this paper examine identify SN variations in relation PM, its prevalence, pattern, course.A prospective-descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out determine frequency anatomical exit with PM 20 bodies (corpses) both genders, equal numbers.The dissection 40 SNs corpses sexes numbers...
Lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS) occurs primarily due to degenerative changes in older adults, affecting the spinal foramina and leading nerve compression. Characterized by pain, numbness, muscle weakness, LFS arises from structural discs, joints, ligaments, further complicated factors like inflammation spondylolisthesis. Diagnosis combines patient history, physical examination, imaging, while management ranges conservative treatment surgical intervention, underscoring need for a tailored approach.
<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Introduction</italic>: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare, benign tumors, making up 0.04–0.6% of brain tumors and originating from ectodermal cells, unlike more complex teratomas pluripotent germ cells. Dermoid cysts, containing only derivatives, differ epidermoid by lacking dermal appendages. They commonly cause symptoms like seizures headaches, with specific types associated their rupture or chronic presence, impacting nearby structures. <italic>Material...
