To ascertain the relationship among vestibular schwannoma (VS) tumor volume, growth, and hearing loss.Retrospective cohort study.Single tertiary center.Adults with observed VS serviceable at diagnosis were included. The primary outcome was development of nonserviceable as estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Associations volume baseline assessed Spearman rank correlation coefficients. growth over time Cox proportional hazards models summarized hazard ratios (HRs).Of 230 patients diagnosis,...
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 will soon provide billions dollars to small physician practices nationwide encourage adoption electronic health records. Although shifting from paper computers should lead better cheaper care, the transition is complex. In this we describe our struggles adapt a commercial record an innovative practice serving high-cost patients with chronic diseases. Limitations in technology gave rise medication errors, interruptions work flow, other...
OBJECTIVE The morbidity of gross-total resection jugular paraganglioma (JP) is often unacceptable due to the potential for irreversible lower cranial neuropathy. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been used at authors’ institution since 1990 treatment JP and other benign intracranial tumors. Conventional means assessing tumor progression using linear measurements or elliptical approximations are imprecise irregular shape insinuating growth pattern JP. objective this study was assess...
Objectives: Indications for surgical treatment of bladder diverticula include tumor, lower urinary tract symptoms refractory to medical treatment, renal dysfunction or recurrent infections. We describe the technique and report outcomes robotic diverticulectomy at our institution. Methods: A chart review patients who underwent institution from 2007 2010 was carried out. procedure were: (LUTS) not responding (2 patients), ureteral obstruction (1 patient), tumor arising in a diverticulum...
We sought to analyze key factors that influence the management of lateral skull base defects and implement an algorithm improve outcomes reconstruction.Retrospective chart review.Single tertiary academic referral center.Adults who underwent temporal bone resection were included. Variables included tumor characteristics, ablative procedure, reconstructive method, wound complications.Seventy-one patients studied. Lateral was performed in 55 (77%), subtotal 14 (20%), total petrosectomy two...
Objective: Previous research has shown that tumor growth during observation of small-to-medium sized sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VSs) occurs almost exclusively within 3 to 5 years following diagnosis. This led some consider ending surveillance after this interval. study seeks characterize a cohort patients with tumors exhibited late growth. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Adults VSs who initially elected serial magnetic resonance imaging...
Objective: To ascertain long-term hearing outcomes in patients with serviceable following microsurgical resection of sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS). Study Design: Retrospective cohort. Setting: Tertiary academic referral center. Patients: Forty-three adult subjects unilateral VS who had (American Academy Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery [AAO-HNS] class A or B) on initial postoperative audiogram between 2003 2016 a minimum two audiograms available for review. Intervention: Surgical...
Intraoperative far-field auditory brainstem response (ABR) and direct cochlear nerve action potential monitoring using neural imaging (NRI) are techniques for the during vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. A new paradigm has developed where is anatomically preserved tumor removal to facilitate implantation in select circumstances. This report describes use of an unmodified commercial implant (CI) elicit electrically-evoked ABR evaluate status resection real time.Adult female with unilateral,...
Introduction: Few studies have reported the prevalence and consequences of infection with Helicobacter pylori among obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. This study reviewed whether H. has any association postoperative complications. also examined there was difference in percent excess weight loss (%EWL). Materials Methods: In this retrospective study, pathology reports 400 who underwent gastrectomy between 2008 2013 at authors' institution were reviewed. Data included demographics,...
Retrospective cohort study.
Lipoma is a rare cause of ulnar nerve compression in Guyon's canal. All four previously reported cases from 2000 to 2009 have been accurately diagnosed on MRI. We present case report where the MRI and surgical findings differed summary previous literature. conclude that although remains best investigation for this condition, it not always accurate clinical still provide basis treatment.
