Single-Stage Posterior Transpedicular Corpectomy and 360-Degree Reconstruction for Thoracic and Lumbar Burst Fractures: Technical Nuances and Outcomes
Conclusion Single-stage posterior corpectomy and fixation is a safe and effective approach for thoracic and lumbar burst fractures. It provides excellent 360-degree reconstruction in a single surgical stage with satisfactory results in terms of kyphosis reduction, biomechanical stability, and reduced invasiveness. Spinal navigation represents a fundamental tool to overcome some anatomical limits of the presented technique.

Proper Head Rotation when Performing Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: An Orthometric Consideration Based on Preoperative MRI
Conclusion Turning the patient's head 10 degrees away from the affected side was generally appropriate for performing MVD surgery because it provided a mean microscope angle of 48 degrees. However, some patients had corner values for the sigmoid angle, REZ-SEA, and sigmoid sinus diameter. Rotating a patient's head based on precise calculations from preoperative MRI helps to achieve successful surgery.

ShuntScope-Guided Versus Free-Hand Technique for Ventricular Catheter Placement: A Retrospective Comparative Study of Intraventricular Catheter Tip Position and Complication Rate
Conclusion VC placement using the SG technique is a safe and effective procedure, which enabled a significantly higher success rate and lower revision and complication rate. Accordingly, we recommend using the SG technique especially in patients with difficult anatomy.

Minimally Neural Retractive, Total Annular Resection, Transforaminal Endoscopic (TARTE) Approach for Severely Canal Compromising Lumbar Disk Herniation Accompanied by a Neurologic Deficit
Conclusion The transforaminal endoscopic approach for broad-based severely canal compromising LDH can be considered a feasible surgical option for an experienced surgeon. With total annular resection and pushdown of migrated fragments, safe and complete removal of LDH was possible in patients with a neurologic deficit. Total annular resection may increase the overall but not the early recurrence rate.

Thoracolumbar Instrumentation Surgery in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Case-Control Study
Conclusion PD patients exhibit challenging biomechanical demands on instrumenting the spine. Besides osteoporosis, especially sagittal imbalance, gait disturbance, and altered muscle tone may be contributive. PD patients may particularly profit from navigated and less invasive surgical techniques.

Microsurgical Anatomy of the Hypoglossal Nerve in the Lateral Approaches to the Craniovertebral Junction: A Study on Fresh Non-Formalin-Fixed Human Specimens
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1739222The aim of this anatomical study is to describe the anatomy of the hypoglossal nerve (HN) from its origin to the extracranial portion as it appears by performing a combined posterolateral and anterolateral approach to the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). Twelve fresh, non-formalin-fixed adult cadaveric heads (24 sides) were analyzed for the simulation of the combined lateral approach to the CVJ. The HN is divided into three main parts: cisternal, intracanalicular, and extracranial The anatomical relationships between the HN and other nerves, muscles, arteries and...

Uniportal Full-Endoscopic versus Minimally Invasive Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Meta-analysis
Conclusions?The UPFE decompression is associated with shorter hospital stay time and lower intraoperative blood loss and wound-related complications compared with MIS decompression for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis patients. The postoperative clinical scores, satisfaction rate, operation time, complication rates for dural injury, epidural hematoma, and postoperative transient dysesthesia and weakness did not differ significantly between two groups.
