Background/Objectives: Surgery for adolescent idiopathic deformities is often aimed at improving aesthetic appearance, striving the best possible correction. However, severe and rigid scoliotic curves not only present issues but can also compromise cardiopulmonary health cause early neurological impairment due to spinal cord compression, posing significant risks of morbidity mortality if untreated. Conservative treatments are ineffective curves, defined by angles over 70° flexibility below...
Surgery for spinal metastases is almost always palliative and part of a multidisciplinary approach that has determined significant increase life expectancy in the last decade; thus, an improvement health-related quality (HRQOL) main goal treatment metastases. We report here results prospective study conducted with aim evaluating impact surgery on HRQOL, measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). analyzed clinical outcomes (ambulatory status, performance pain, neurological...
Background: Primary malignant bone tumors are exceedingly rare, with an incidence of 0.5 to 1 per million, and sacral localization is even more uncommon, representing only 1-3.5% these tumors. These malignancies often diagnosed late due their asymptomatic nature until they present as large, advanced intrapelvic Management complicated by the need for precise surgical intervention consideration adjuvant therapies based on tumor histology patient factors. Methods: We conducted a single-center,...
Limited data exist on the clinical outcomes and inflammatory response of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF). This study evaluates ERAS’s impact by analyzing blood parameters serum protein, surgical, radiological to assess safety, feasibility, outcomes. Between July 2021 2022, 30 AIS underwent PSF with standardized pain management, high-dose tranexamic acid, early mobilization, reduced...
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare minilaparoscopic (MLS) and open pyeloplasty (OP) in children <1 year terms intra- perioperative outcomes esthetic results. Materials Methods: Patients age, with prenatal hydronephrosis, who underwent Anderson-Hynes for monolateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) at our center from January 2016 August 2017 were enrolled the study. Outcomes evaluated as follows: operative time, length hospital stay, postoperative pain anterior-posterior...
Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of children submitted to robot-assisted reconstruction with or without drainage placement performed by a single surgeon in tertiary referral center. Materials and Methods: Patients reconstruction, including pyeloplasty for ureteral pelvic junction obstruction, end-to-end anastomosis retrocaval ureter, reimplantation vesical ureter reflux (VUR) from January 2016 November 2018, were included. obstruction selected surgery according presence symptoms...
Introduction Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has been shown to be safe and effective in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) correction, even though there is no consensus on which treatment provides the best results. Methods analysis The present study will a randomised controlled trial with allocation 1:1. We enrol 126 patients Cobb≤70° undergoing AIS surgery. Patients divided into two groups, according randomisation list unknown surgeons. Group 1 treated posterior fusion group 2...
Objective: To compare open and robotic approach for treatment of Primary Obstructive Megaureter (POM) in a series pediatric patients. Materials Methods: Medical records all patients who had undergone ureteral reimplantation POM at our institution, between January 2016 December 2019, were retrospectively collected analyzed. Open (Group B) A) compared. Success was defined as reduction anteroposterior diameter pelvis ureter on postoperative ultrasound scan. Surgical complications reported...
Cystic nephroma is a benign kidney tumor, which presents as unilateral cystic mass without solid elements. We presented the first case of treated with robotic nephron-sparing surgery in pediatric patient. The procedure adopted was robot-assisted simple enucleation lesion, arterial clamping.
Epithelioid hemangioma is recognized by the World Health Organization as a distinct benign neoplasm; however, it characterized locally aggressive and rarely metastasizing behavior. vascular tumors are rare bony lesions with varying degrees of malignant potential that remain controversial because their rarity, unusual morphological features, unpredictable biological The application new molecular tools, such massive parallel sequencing technologies, have provided diagnostic markers an...
This study aims to evaluate long-term functional, sexual, and cosmetic outcomes in adult patients who underwent hypospadias repair during childhood at a national highly specialized pediatric hospital.
