Subjective and Objective Quality-of-Life Assessment of Outcome Measures in Cervical Spine Surgery for Degenerative Changes
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1739227Cervical spine diskectomy is a commonly used procedure in degenerative disease of cervical spine surgery. However, it is difficult to assess the quality of life after this widely applied and variously modified procedure. This literature review presents cervical diskectomy results, according to various scales and measures in multidirectional surgical strategies. Using relevant databases, we tried to find the best treatment options for degenerative disk disease and the best method of quality-of-life assessment, searching for modalities that may influence the outco...

Temporal Flaps in Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgery: A Systematic Review of Surgical Techniques
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1739213The temporal region is a great source of vascularized flap, providing extremely variable and versatile options for reconstruction in head and neck surgery. Its popularity has led to the conception of a large variety of different flaps, in terms of contents and design. Temporal flaps are highly pliable and flexible, providing adequate bulk to obliterate dead spaces and improving engraftment, thus facilitating wound healing. The need to access different anatomical compartments, often far from the original flap anatomical site, has led surgeons to develop technique...

Cortical Bone Trajectory Pedicle Screw Fixation in Surgical Treatment of Monosegmental Pyogenic Lumbar Spondylodiskitis
Conclusion In monosegmental lumbar spondylodiskitis, posterior stabilization of the anterior strut bone graft by CBTPS and CPS was comparable via the radiographic parameter of segmental lordosis or deformity angle. Our observation suggests the clinical feasibility of CBTPS in the treatment of relatively mild monosegmental pyogenic lumbar spondylodiskitis.

Preoperative ODI and Intake of Analgesics Predict Outcome after Lumbar Microdiskectomy: Results from a Prospective Register
Conclusion LDH surgery generally improves patient degree of disability. The analysis of patients with a high preoperative ODI score and increased intake of analgesics before surgery predicted a worsening of patients' disability after LMD in this subgroup.

Skull Base Meningiomas: Is Surgical Resection Enough? Outcome Evaluation and Prognostic Factors Analysis in a Single-Center Cohort
Conclusions A safe surgical resection followed by RT adjuvant treatment could represent the better choice to obtain local control maintaining neurologic integrity. Our data underlined the value of adjuvant RT in incompletely resected meningiomas.

Growth Analysis of Untreated Meningiomas under Observation
Conclusion Three-quarters of presumptive meningiomas managed conservatively do not grow significantly. The remainder have significant growth over time, and the behavior could be approximated with linear regression models.

Microendoscopic Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Associated with Adjacent Segment Disease following Lumbar Fusion Surgery: 5-year Follow-up of a Retrospective Case Series
Conclusions Microendoscopic spinal decompression is an effective treatment alternative for patients with LSS caused by ASD. The ability to perform neural decompression while maintaining key stabilizing structures minimizes subsequent clinical instability. The substantial clinical and economic benefits of this approach may make it a favorable alternative to performing concurrent fusion in many patients.

Declining Numbers of Neurosurgical Emergencies at a German University Medical Center during the Coronavirus Lockdown
Conclusion Our findings are in line with other observational studies of neurosurgical, neurologic, and cardiologic centers in Europe that have described a drop in emergency cases. The reasons for this drop that seems to affect various medical fields and countries across Europe are still unidentified. Morbidity and mortality rates are still unknown, and efforts should be made to facilitate neurosurgical emergency care during a pandemic lockdown.

Comparative Analysis of Acute Levodopa Challenge Test and the Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Conclusion The levodopa challenge test can be used as a screening tool for patients undergoing DBS surgery, and can predict the degree of improvement in muscle rigidity and bradykinesia surgery. However, the prediction of the degree of improvement of total motor symptoms is poor.
