Objective assessment of postural ergonomics in neurosurgery: integrating wearable technology in the operating room.

Objective: Physical stress associated with the static posture of neurosurgeons over prolonged periods can result in fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders. Objective assessment of surgical ergonomics may contribute to postural awareness and prevent further complications. This pilot study examined the feasibility of using wearable technology as a biofeedback tool to address this gap.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage in Patients with Acute Spinal Cord Injury: A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The secondary phase of spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by ischemic injury. Spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), calculated as the difference between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and intrathecal pressure (ITP), has arisen as a therapeutic target for improving outcomes. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) may reduce ITP and thereby increase SCPP.

Combined Transcranial and Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Resection of a Complex Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Two-Dimensional Operative Video.

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare head-and-neck neoplasm that has a propensity to locally invade vital structures. Currently, the combination of surgical resection and radiation remains the optimal treatment. 1 However, the extent of disease burden and involvement of surrounding anatomy may make these inoperable.

A Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Technique for Fascia Lata Graft Acquisition and Fascial Reapproximation.

Background: Fascia lata remains a popular and robust graft to repair osteodural defects in endoscopic neurosurgery. Classically, this graft is obtained via a large incision in the thigh that is prone to pain and muscle herniation after surgery.

Objective: To present a novel technique for harvesting fat and fascia lata graft and reapproximating the edges via an endoscopic approach through the thigh using an "outside-in" technique to prevent muscle herniation.

Targeting PD-L1 After Adjuvant Radiation in Subtotally Resected Primary Pineal Melanoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Primary melanoma of the pineal gland is a rare disease entity with an overall poor prognosis. Limited data exist to appropriately guide treatment decisions. Historical case reports have showed some success using a combination of surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but long-term survival has been exceedingly rare.
