Objective: Previous studies on the association between pks+Escherichia coli and colorectal cancer (CRC) demonstrated conflicting results. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates.
Methods: Related literature was obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library.
Purpose: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and ventriculoperitoneal shunting are well-established treatments of obstructive hydrocephalus (HCP) in adult and pediatric patients. However, there is a lack of data with regard to the quality of life (QoL) of these patients during long-term follow-up METHODS: Inclusion criteria were pediatric patients with endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus at the University Medicine Greifswald between 1993 and 2016. Patients older than 14 years at present were assessed with the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire.

Background: Since the development of neuroendoscopy, pure endoscopic fenestration for intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) became more and more popular and is actually preferred by many neurosurgeons.
Objective: To explore their techniques and experiences with endoscopic treatment of intracranial ACs over a 25-yr period.
Methods: A total of 95 endoscopic procedures in 87 patients with 88 intracranial ACs performed at the authors' departments between February 1993 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Endoscopic resection of colloid cysts is a widely accepted treatment option instead of microsurgery. However, there is still a debate about a potentially higher rate of incomplete resections and recurrence.
Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate long-term results after endoscopic removal of colloid cysts.
