Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a guideless catheter placement technique for revision surgeries related to external ventricular drainage and ventricular shunt systems in hydrocephalus treatment.
- The analysis was conducted on 111 patients who underwent these revisions between January 2020 and January 2023, focusing on demographic and clinical data, including complication rates.
- Results showed that the guideless technique significantly lowered postoperative complications, with only 1.8% experiencing bleeding and 4.5% facing catheter malposition, highlighting its potential benefits in clinical practice.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of osteoplastic pterional craniotomy on temporal hollowing and its sequelae.
Material And Methods: A total of 97 patients who underwent pterional craniotomy for an aneurysm were analyzed retrospectively. Of these 97 patients, 63 underwent surgery via the conventional pterional approach and 34 underwent surgery via the osteoplastic pterional approach.

Objective: Lumbar spinal stenosis is defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by neurogenic claudication or radicular pain due to the narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen and the compression of its neural elements. Surgical treatment is applied to decompress the neural structures. In some cases, transpedicular instrumentation and fusion may also be applied.

The aim of this study was to present our experience and the clinical results of a posterior and posterolateral approach used for CVJ lesions in our clinic, and to discuss these in light of current literature.
Methods: Clinical, radiologic, and surgical aspects of 30 patients with CVJ tumors were retrospectively evaluated.
