Background: Lumbar plexus schwannomas are a rare occurrence in neurosurgery, with few reported cases and no standard surgical approach. This study describes a successful surgical resection with no complications using the Wiltse approach.
Methods: Patient presented with an intra-psoas tumor suggesting schwannoma. We described the surgical technique involved step by step.
Results: The patient recovered from the surgery with no complications. The anatomopathological examination confirmed the schwannoma diagnosis. The post operatory magnetic resonance imaging showed complete resection.
Conclusion: This study shows that the use of Wiltse approach, mainly used for classical herniated disc extraforaminal, can be used successfully on Lumbar plexus schwannomas.

Continuous local infiltration analgesia is equal to femoral and sciatic nerve block for total knee arthroplasty.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Department of Anaesthesia, Main-Kinzig-Kliniken, Herzbachweg 14, 63571, Gelnhausen, Germany.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Pain control is crucial for rapid mobilisation and reduces side effects as well as the length of hospital stay. In this context, a variety of multimodal pain control regimes show good pain relief, including several nerve blocks, iPACK and local infiltration analgesia (LIA).

Background: Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by complex pathophysiological changes affecting both autonomic and somatic components of the nervous system. Inflammation and oxidative stress are recognized contributors to the pathogenesis of DN. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in alleviating DN symptoms, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Urogynecology (Phila)
February 2025
From the Departments of Gynecology and Obstetrics.
Importance: Patients deciding between advanced therapies for overactive bladder syndrome may be interested to know the likelihood of treatment crossover after sacral neuromodulation, intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA, or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. Treatment crossover was defined as a switch from one advanced therapy to another.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the rate of treatment crossover after each advanced therapy for nonneurogenic overactive bladder syndrome.
Prone Transpsoas Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Degenerative Disc Disease.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Center for Neuroscience and Spine, Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington.
Background: Prone transpsoas lumbar interbody fusion (PTP) is a newer technique to treat various spinal disc pathologies. PTP is a variation of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) that is performed with the patient prone rather than in the lateral decubitus position. This approach offers similar benefits of lateral spinal surgery, which include less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared with traditional open spine surgery.

Objective: To determine if intermittent neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) of the common peroneal nerve increases microvascular flow and pulsatility in and around the wound bed of patients with combined venous and arterial etiology.
Methods: Seven consenting participants presenting with mixed etiology leg ulcers participated in this study. Microvascular flow and pulsatility was measured in the wound bed and in the skin surrounding the wound using laser speckle contrast imaging.
