Augmented Reality-Assisted Microsurgery for Severe Thoracic Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, JPN.
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) can lead to dural ossification, significantly increasing the risk of complications, including intraoperative nerve injury. The application of augmented reality (AR) and advanced digital technologies in spine surgery has the potential to reduce these risks. This case report highlights a perioperative nerve injury-free microsurgery using elastic image fusion technology, which integrates preoperative imaging with intraoperative computed tomography for a patient with severe stenotic OLF and dural ossification.

Background: Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has revolutionized the armamentarium for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) treatment. Technical and angiographic benchmarks to guide procedural and clinical success are less well established.
Methods: A single-center database was reviewed to compare outcomes after standalone MMAE with and without resultant residual angiographic opacification of frontal and parietal (F/P) branches.
A novel reconstruction model for thoracic spinal cord injury in swine.
PLoS One
September 2024
Department of Veterinary Clinical Science, Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States of America.
Spinal cord (SC) reconstruction (process to reestablish the severed neural continuity at the injury site) may provide better recovery from blunt SC injury (SCI). A miniature swine model of blunt SC compression was used to test the hypothesis that reconstruction of the SC with sural nerve in combination with surgical decompression and stabilization improves functional, macro- and microstructural recovery compared to decompression and stabilization alone. Following blunt T9-T11 SC compression injury, five adult Yucatan gilts randomly received laminectomy and polyethylene glycol (as fusogen) with (n = 3) or without (n = 2) sural nerve graft SC reconstruction.

Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown)
August 2024
Department of Radiology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background And Objective: At present, there is no consensus regarding the most optimal dural substitute to use for duroplasty in primary decompressive craniectomy (PDC) for traumatic brain injury (TBI). The author's objective was to conduct a retrospective analysis comparing 2 techniques of PDC: duroplasty using anterior-based vascularized galea pericranium (VP group) with synthetic dural substitute duroplasty (SR group).
Methods: From April 2015 to February 2022, 379 craniotomies were done for TBI.
Endoscope-assisted supraorbital approach for excision of tuberculum sella meningioma: Technical nuances.
Surg Neurol Int
July 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University of South Alabama, Mobile, Alabama, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) are benign tumors that can cause vision problems due to pressure on the optic nerves and are best treated surgically, especially when large.
- The presented video case showcases a 66-year-old woman who underwent an endoscope-assisted craniotomy for TSM, achieving complete tumor removal and significant vision improvement post-surgery.
- The endoscopic approach allows for safer and more effective resection of TSMs with minimal brain disruption, especially in cases with larger tumors extending laterally.
