The Value of Intraoperative Ultrasound in Brain Surgery
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;50:185-199. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_6.ABSTRACTFavorable clinical outcomes in adult and pediatric neurosurgical oncology generally depend on the extent of tumor resection (EOR). Maximum safe resection remains the main aim of surgery in most intracranial tumors. Despite the accuracy of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) in the detection of residual intraoperatively, it is not widely implemented worldwide owing to enormous cost and technical difficulties. Over the past years, intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) has imposed itself as a valuable and reliable intraoperative tool g...

Clipping of Anterior Circulation Aneurysms: Operative Instructions and Safety Rules for Young Cerebrovascular Surgeons
CONCLUSION: In the setting of an IA clipping, particularly when ruptured, the young cerebrovascular surgeon needs to respect an algorithm of safety rules, which are essential not only to avoid major complications, but they may intervene during the difficulties helping to manage potentially life-tethering conditions.PMID:38592532 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_7 (Source: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery)

360 Degrees Endoscopic Access to and Through the Orbit
This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of endoscopic-assisted techniques that enable a 360° access to the orbit and its surrounding regions. The investigation will delve into indications, advantages, and limitations associated with different approaches, while also drawing comparisons between endoscopic approaches and traditional microsurgical transcranial approaches.PMID:38592533 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_8 (Source: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery)

Pros and Cons of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;50:277-293. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_9.ABSTRACTThis paper reviews current knowledge on minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS). Although it has significant advantages, such as less postoperative pain, short hospital stay, quick return to work, better cosmetics, and less infection rate, there are also disadvantages. The long learning curve, the need for special instruments and types of equipment, high costs, lack of tactile sensation and biplanar imaging, some complications that are hard to treat, and more radiation to the surgeon and surgical team are the disadvantages.Most studies rema...
