Endovascular Embolization of a Lateral Sacral Fistula: 2-Dimensional Operative Video.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are the most common vascular malformations of the spine. They are localized in the sacral spine in 5% to 14% of the cases. They can be fed by the median or the lateral sacral arteries.

Use of Pheno Room, Augmented Reality, and 3-Rod Technique for 3-Dimensional Correction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

This is a surgical video that showcases the surgical repair of a young male patient with idiopathic scoliosis in a hybrid operating room with the utilization of a new imaging modality Advanced Radar Target Identification System (ARTIS) PHENO (Siemens Medical Solutions, Pennsylvania, USA) and augmented reality (Video 1). A 17-year-old male patient with idiopathic scoliosis underwent scoliosis repair in a hybrid operating room with segment reality surgical planning. The use of augmented reality helped in visualization of proper screw trajectory, and the use of ARTIS PHENO helped in identification of correct screw placement and rod fixation.

Surgical correction of proximal junctional kyphosis.

This 3D video showcases the surgical techniques for patients with proximal junctional kyphosis. The surgical repair for patients with proximal junctional kyphosis is an individualized approach depending on patient history and imaging with adequate surgical measurements. This video will shed light on two cases with proximal junctional kyphosis and the method taken for their repair.

Utility of Augmented Reality Imaging (GLOW800) in Resection of Hemangioblastoma.

This is a surgical video that sheds light on the utility of a new imaging modality GLOW800 (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) in resection of vascular tumors. We describe the surgical resection of posterior fossa hemangioblastoma in 2 different patients after informed consent was obtained. In the first case no intraoperative angiographic imaging was used, while in the second case GLOW800 was used.

The Use of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid in Low-Grade Glioma Resection: A Systematic Review.

Background: For optimizing high-grade glioma resection, 5-aminolevulinic acid is a reliable tool. However, its efficacy in low-grade glioma resection remains unclear.

Objective: To study the role of 5-aminolevulinic acid in low-grade glioma resection and assess positive fluorescence rates and the effect on the extent of resection.
