Prognosticators of Functional Outcome After Supratentorial Minimally Invasive Intracranial Hemorrhage Evacuation With Tubular Retractor Systems.

Background And Objectives: Prognosticators of good functional outcome after minimally invasive surgical (MIS) intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation are poorly defined. This study aims to investigate clinical and radiographic prognosticators of poor functional outcome after MIS evacuation of ICH with tubular retractor systems.

Methods: Single-center retrospective review of adult (age ≥18 years) patients who underwent surgical evacuation of a spontaneous supratentorial ICH evacuation using tubular retractors from 2013 to 2022 was performed.

Flow diversion for the treatment of intracranial bifurcation aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Flow diversion (FD: flow diversion, flow diverter) is an endovascular treatment for many intracranial aneurysm types; however, limited reports have explored the use of FDs in bifurcation aneurysm management. We analyzed the safety and efficacy of FD for the management of intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.

Methods: A systematic review identified original research articles that used FD for treating intracranial bifurcation aneurysms.

Management of Patients with Spine Tumors Strengthened by a Dedicated Multidisciplinary Spine Tumor Board: A 15-Year Single-Institutional Experience.

Background: Patients with spine tumors frequently require timely, multistep, and multidisciplinary care. A Spine Tumor Board (STB) provides a consistent forum wherein diverse specialists can interact, facilitating complex coordinated care for these patients. This study aims to present a single, large academic center's STB experience specifically reviewing case diversity, recommendations, and quantifying growth over time.

Characterizing the Next Generation of Neurosurgeons: A Descriptive Analysis and Publicly Available Web Application of Neurosurgery Residency Programs' Website Data.

Objective: Neurosurgery program websites serve as a valuable resource for applicants. However, each website exists in isolation, and it can be difficult to understand the general trends in U.S.

Use of Surpass Streamline Flow Diverter for the Endovascular Treatment of Craniocervical Aneurysms: A Single-Institution Experience.

Background: Flow diversion has revolutionized endovascular treatment for cerebral aneurysms. The Surpass Streamline flow diverter (SSFD) has shown promise for expanding flow diversion device options for aneurysm treatment. SSFD differs from earlier stents by maintaining high porosity with increased pore density to ensure appropriate flow disruption.
