Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on pediatric patients who undergo hemispherectomy surgery for intractable epilepsy and examines the complication of hydrocephalus that can arise post-surgery, highlighting the need to understand its mechanisms better for improved patient care.
- - A retrospective review of 204 patients from the Cleveland Clinic looked at various factors like demographics, surgical history, and complications to identify those contributing to hydrocephalus, with 14% of patients developing the condition post-operation.
- - Findings indicated that 46% of patients with hydrocephalus experienced symptoms within 90 days post-surgery, and certain factors, like postoperative aseptic meningitis, were significantly linked to the development of hydrocephalus.
Study Design: retrospective review.
Objective: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary set of evidence-based interventions to reduce morbidity and accelerate postoperative recovery. Complex spine surgery carries high risks of perioperative blood loss, blood transfusion, and suboptimal fluid states.
Study Design: Meta-analyses.
Objective: This study aims to document the most common Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used to assess lumbar fusion surgery outcomes and provide an estimate of the average improvement following surgical treatment.
Summary Of Background Data: As health care institutions place more emphasis on quality of care, accurately quantifying patient perceptions has become a valued tool in measuring outcomes.
