Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of osteomyelitis related to bone flaps after cranioplasty in 144 patients from 2008 to 2021.
- The majority of patients showed wound issues, with common pathogens identified as Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes; surgeries were performed in nearly all cases.
- Findings indicated a significant treatment failure rate of 26.1%, with factors like the initial surgery for brain tumors and specific surgical techniques affecting outcomes, suggesting a need for specialized, long-term care in dedicated centers.
Background: Frameless robotic-assisted surgery is an innovative technique for deep brain stimulation (DBS) that has not been assessed in a large cohort of patients.
Objective: To evaluate accuracy of DBS lead placement using the ROSA® robot (Zimmer Biomet) and a frameless registration.
Methods: All patients undergoing DBS surgery in our institution between 2012 and 2016 were prospectively included in an open label single-center study.
