Background: The indication for surgical treatment of congenital nevocellular nevi results from aesthetic-cosmetic consideration as well the increased risk melanomatous transformation. Objective: We evaluated outcome after dermabrasion different sizes and treated at ages. Methods: 215 patients by during years 1979–1995 were examined a median interval 24 months postoperatively. Results: No postoperative development malignant melanoma arising nevus was seen in any time follow-up. serious...
Retrospective longitudinal study.
Importance Discontinuation of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) during the perioperative phase treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) may reduce recurrence rates but also increase risk cardiovascular or thromboembolic events. However, efficacy and safety discontinuing ASA in this patient population remain unclear. Objective To assess cSDH events patients undergoing surgical with continuous vs discontinuous treatment. Design, Setting, Participants The SECA (Surgical Evacuation...
Background: Compare fusion at two independent timepoints (early and late) between 3D-printed titanium (Ti) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages in patients undergoing standalone lateral lumbar interbody (SA-LLIF). We hypothesized that Ti show higher rates an early timepoint compared to PEEK. Methods: A retrospective study of SA-LLIF with PEEK 11/2016 01/2020 a single academic institution was done. Fusion assessed for each treated level using multiplanar reconstructed computed tomography (CT)...
Postoperative pain management of multilevel lumbar fusion remains challenging. There are few reports opioid-sparing regional analgesia for spine surgery. We present a novel method surgeon-placed erector spinae plane (ESP) catheters and compare pain- opioid-related outcomes in matched cohort who received anesthesiologist-placed ESP blocks.
Osteolytic lesions caused by infection or metastatic disease of the spine can induce instability. Different surgical strategies are available to restore stability in this scenario, however little is known how various reconstruction techniques affect spinal biomechanics.
Remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) after burr-hole evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a rare and uncommon complication of minor supratentorial surgery with very few reports in the literature an uncertain etiology. We present case 62-year-old male who underwent single trepanation unilateral cSDH, revealing incidental RCH on routine postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan most likely resulting from overdrainage cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within period. The patient recovered...
