Background: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) can lead to a severe complication known as recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP). Existing literature supports that recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is the principal etiology of RLNP, a complication potentially mitigated through intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). In this study, we examined the comprehensive effectiveness of IONM during esophageal resection by performing a meta-analysis.

Spine surgery is highly litigious; misplaced screws and intraoperative neuromonitoring frequently feature in lawsuits. Intraoperative neuromonitoring aims to prevent injury but its standards are debated, and literature suggests its benefits are mixed. We surveyed its use among neurosurgeons from the Congress of Neurological Surgeons with Pearson's chi-square test applied to analyse data within R.

Persistent primary hyperparathyroidism is defined as the persistence or recurrence of hypercalcemia within 6 months of parathyroid surgery. Recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism is defined as the recurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism more than 6 months after an initially curative parathyroidectomy. In these situations, it is essential to rule out differential diagnoses, and in particular secondary hyperparathyroidism and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.

Background: An accurate knowledge of a patient's risk of cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data loss is important for an informed decision-making process prior to deformity correction, but no prediction tool currently exists.
Methods: A total of 1,106 patients with spinal deformity and 205 perioperative variables were included. A stepwise machine-learning (ML) approach using random forest (RF) analysis and multivariable logistic regression was performed.

Background: Resection of calcified meningiomas in the ventral thoracic spinal canal remains a formidable surgical challenge despite advances in technology and refined microsurgical techniques. These tumors, which account for a small percentage of spinal meningiomas, are characterized by their hardness, complicating safe resection and often resulting in worse outcomes than their noncalcified counterparts.
Observations: The authors present the case of a 68-year-old woman with a ventrally located ossified meningioma at the T9-10 level, successfully treated via a posterolateral transpedicular approach.
