OBJECTIVE Over the past 3 decades, robotic technology has advanced significantly across surgical fields, driven by improvements in versatility, stability, skill, and tactile properties. Neurosurgery led way integrating robotics to improve accuracy safety of procedures that require high precision. This study aimed present one largest series literature investigate feasibility effectiveness assistance neuro-oncological surgery. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective review medical...
The pathophysiological link between adiposity and blood pressure is not completely understood, evidence suggests an influence of sex genetic determinants. We aimed to identify the relationship pressure, independent a robust set lifestyle metabolic factors, examine modulating role Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms. In Relationship Between Insulin Sensitivity Cardiovascular Disease (RISC) study cohort, 1211 normotensive individuals, aged 30 60 years...
Abstract BACKGROUND Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment for primary CNS tumors. While LITT offers advantages over traditional approaches, perilesional intracranial heatsinks can lead to asymmetric ablation, impacting patient outcomes. Understanding heatsink effects is crucial optimizing efficacy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed tumors treated with at single tertiary care center. Ablation outcomes were quantified using the Heatsink...
Here we present a case report detailing an unusual occurrence of Remote Cerebellar Hemorrhage (RCH) post-lumbar laminectomy without the conventional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Our patient, 66-year-old male with neuropathic pain and numbness, underwent lumbar two to five- laminectomy. Two weeks after surgery, he developed intense headache paresthesia, neuroimaging revealing superior right cerebellar lesions. Despite comprehensive diagnostic investigations, found no evidence typical RCH...
Vertebral osteomyelitis/discitis is a relatively rare disease but known potential complication of spinal surgical intervention. In general, the first-line treatment for this condition targeted antibiotic therapy with intervention only utilized in refractory cases evidence extensive damage, structural instability, or abscess formation. However, best practices have not been established osteomyelitis, including indications anterior lateral interbody fusion (ALIF), posterior (PLIF), direct...
