Endoscopic retrosigmoid keyhole approach in cerebellopontine angle tumors. A surgical cohort.

Introduction And Objectives: To determine the safety and efficacy of endoscopic keyhole surgery in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumours.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with cerebellopontine angled tumours treated by fully endoscopic retrosigmoid keyhole approach in a tertiary centre during a period of four years. Preoperative, transoperative and postoperative variables were analysed.

Minimally Invasive Removal of Extra- and Intradural Spinal Tumors Using Full Endoscopic Visualization.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in patients with spinal extradural and intradural-extramedullary tumors.

Methods: This was a study of 15 consecutive patients with spinal extradural or intradural-extramedullary tumors up to 2 levels treated by minimal invasive surgery using a full endoscopic visualization and Caspar's retraction system (for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar tumors) over a 4-year period between January 2015 to April 2019 at a tertiary center.

Minimally Invasive 360-Degree Approach to Intraconal Orbital Tumors.

Purpose: To evaluate clinically the efficacy of 360-degree minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in patients with orbital intraconal tumors.

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Methods: A series of consecutive patients with orbital intraconal tumors were treated with minimally invasive surgery using an endonasal endoscopic approach or an anterior endoscopic orbitotomy over a 5-year period between January 2015 and January 2020 at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology of Cuba.

The effects of Kinesio taping on muscle tone in healthy subjects: a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial.

Kinesio taping (KT) has been proposed to modulate muscle tone. However no studies have systematically studied the efficacy of KTon this primary outcome measure. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Kinesio taping (KT) applied over the gastrocnemius muscles on muscle tone, extensibility, electromyography (EMG) and strength.
