FDG uptake in the cervical muscles after neck dissection: imaging features and postoperative natural course on 18F ‑FDG‑PET/CT
ConclusionsIncreased postoperative uptakes in the cervical muscles were observed on the dissected side in approximately half of the patients after neck dissection. The SUVmax in the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles decreased after surgery over time. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Full Endoscopic anterior cervical discectomy versus anterior cervical discectomy with fusion. A systematic review
Conclusion A definitive conclusion cannot be drawn. Single-level AECD seems to have results equivalent to ACDF, presenting even some benefits. Technical limitations combined with required surgical skills and experience should be considered. We recommend cautious employment in anticipation of future updates.PMID:38650569 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44424-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Response to stent retriever for tandem acute revascularization technique (START): a novel technique for endovascular management of tandem occlusions
We read with great interest the videographic depiction of the stent retriever for tandem acute revascularization technique (START) technique, and applaud the authors for their use of a stent retriever wire to facilitate treatment of the cervical occlusion in tandem large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke cases.1 We published a similar technique in 2020,2 in which we described this as the "one cross" technique, since the presumptive culprit lesion is crossed only one time, mitigating the risk of losing access or potentially exacerbating a dissection flap by repetitively crossing a previously occluded lesion. This technique of u...

A novel MRI-based Cervical-Endplate Bone Quality score independently predicts cage subsidence after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
ConclusionsHigher C-EBQ scores were significantly associated with postoperative cage subsidence after ACDF. There was a significant negative correlation between C-EBQ and endplate HU values. The C-EBQ score may be a promising tool for assessing preoperative bone quality and postoperative cage subsidence and is superior to the C-VBQ. (Source: European Spine Journal)

Comparative Analysis of Clinical Outcomes: Posterior Cervical Endoscopic Discectomy versus Fenestration Laminectomy Discectomy for Cervical Disc Herniation
CONCLUSION: PCED showed favorable long-term clinical efficacy in the treatment of CDH, with excellent recovery and high safety. Compared to FLD, PCED resulted in reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter incision length, and faster recovery. It also led to improved pain scores, functional outcomes, and quality of life measures. The absence of postoperative complications further supports the use of PCED as an effective treatment option for CDH.PMID:38639610 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)
