Objective: The aim: To obtain the first estimates the incidence of surgical site infection in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures and antimicrobial resistance of responsible pathogens, and determine their impact on inpatient mortality in Ukraine.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We performed a multicenter prospective study was patient-based data of SSIs were according to CDC/NHSN methodology. This study included patients undergoing a neurosurgical procedure in 11 tertiary care hospitals from different regions of Ukraine from January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2020.
Results: Results: A total of 1697 neurosurgical procedures associated with a 90-day SSI were identified (19.4% of 8741 procedures). Of these, 69.5% SSI were identified after craniotomy and 30.5% after ventricular shunt. The Meningitis or ventriculitis (20.9%) were found to be the most common underlying condition among these patients followed by Intracranial infection (18.7%), and Osteomyelitis (14.6%) congenital malformation. Over a 90-day surveillance period, 387 died (4.4%). Fifty seven percent of deaths in SSI patients were attributable to infection. Meningitis or ventriculitis and Intracranial infection were associated with a higher mortality. Craniotomy was associated with a higher mortality more frequently than did Ventricular shunt. Escherichia coli were most commonly reported, accounting for 26.3% of all organisms, followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus spp., and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Meticillin resistance was found in 33.7% of S. aureus isolates, and vancomycin resistance was found in 12.7% of enterococci.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The incidence of SSI and mortality after neurosurgical procedures in Ukraine is high. This is due to increase emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and risk factors in neurosurgery patients.

The most common treatment method for patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion is mechanical thrombectomy. However, complications such as cerebral edema and hemorrhage transformation after MT can affect patient prognoses, while decompression craniectomy considerably improves patient prognoses. The aim of this study was to identify clinical indicators, such as the neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, to predict DC.

Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that is treated with medications; however, patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, commonly intractable temporal lobe epilepsy, tend to have better control with surgical treatment. While the mainstay of surgical treatment is anterior temporal lobectomy, it carries risk of potential adverse effects hence minimally invasive techniques are now being used as an alternative to open surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare the efficacy and safety of three of the most used techniques: laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered a major cause of death globally, resulting from trauma. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) may improve functional outcomes in patients with TBI and its associated complications. This study was designed to determine safety and efficacy of DC in improving clinical outcomes in TBI patients compared to standard therapy.
