Clinical Value of Bilateral Balanced Frontotemporoparietal Decompressive Craniectomy in Severe Diffuse Traumatic Brain Injury.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of bilateral balanced frontotemporoparietal decompressive craniectomy (bbDC) in severe diffuse traumatic brain injury by comparison to the unilateral frontotemporoparietal decompressive craniectomy (uDC).

Materials And Methods: Twenty three patients with severe diffuse traumatic brain injury from April 2015 to December 2019 were selected, including 10 cases underwent bbDC (bilateral group) and 13 cases underwent uDC (unilateral group). Compared with the postsurgical intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure, cerebral blood flow volume, postsurgical imaging score, the occurrence of complications as well as the 6 month outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale, GOS) of two groups.

Retraction: Efficacy Comparison of Microvascular Decompression and Rhizotomy in the Treatment of Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: A Retrospective Analysis of 37 Cases.

Our research team attempted to publish our research findings in different journals, but due to delayed internal communication, this led to the publication of this manuscript in two journals. When searching for relevant literature, readers may receive two articles with similar content, which will cause confusion for readers (1,2). Our original intention was not multiple submissions for one draft or redundant publication.

Study on the Therapeutic Effects of Trigeminal Neuralgia With Microvascular Decompression and Stereotactic Gamma Knife Surgery in the Elderly.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of microvascular decompression (MVD) and stereotactic gamma knife surgery (GKS) in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in the elderly.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of 137 elderly cases with TN underwent MVD, partial sensory rhizotomy (PR) treatment from August 2007 to March 2017 and 56 cases underwent GKS treatment from May 2014 to February 2017 was made, compared the efficacy of MVD and GKS in different age groups.

Results: In 125 patients of MVD alone, the responsible vessels included 60 cases of superior cerebellar artery, 55 cases of anterior inferior cerebellar artery, 4 cases of venous vascular compression, 13 cases of mixed arteriovenous compression and 3 cases of vertebral artery, and 2 cases of no responsible vessel.

Does Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Need Rhizotomy in Neurovascular Decompression Surgery?

Objective: To evaluate and compare the long-term efficacy and safety of microvascular decompression (MVD) and glossopharyngeal nerve roots rhizotomy (GNR) in the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN).

Patients And Methods: The data of 37 patients with glossopharyngeal neuralgia undergoing MVD alone and MVD + GNR from July 2004 to March 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 22 were MVD alone and 15 were MVD + GNR.

[Intraoperative decisions and surgical efficacies of trigeminal neuralgia responsible vessels].

Objective: To explore the types of primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN) responsible vessels and curative efficacies of microscopic vascular decompression (MVD).

Methods: A total of 162 primary TN patients underwent MVD from August 2004 to the present at our hospital.Their clinical data were collected and analyzed.

Long-term facial nerve function evaluation following surgery for large acoustic neuromas via retrosigmoid transmeatal approach.

Purpose: By evaluating the postoperative facial nerve function of large acoustic neuromas, the purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the facial nerve function outcome and to explore the surgical strategy for large acoustic neuromas.

Methods: A retrospective study of surgical outcome was performed on 89 patients with large acoustic neuromas. All operations were performed via the retrosigmoid transmeatal approach using the intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring.
