Surgical treatment of hemifacial spasms: how to predict failure and complications through a series of 200 patients
Neurochirurgie. 2023 Sep 21:101498. doi: 10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimary hemifacial spasm (pHFS) is a benign but disabling movement disorder caused by a neurovascular conflict involving the facial nerve. Surgical treatment by microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective therapeutic. Predictors of surgical failure and surgical complications are still lacking. The aim of this study is to identify such predictors through the retrospective analysis of a series of 200 consecutive patients. All patients who underwent MVD for pHFS from January 1991 to December 2017 were included. All...

Social media use among French spine surgeons: an underrated tool?
CONCLUSION: 80% of French spine surgeons use social media for professional purposes. However, SM may not be used to its full potential as only 25% of SM-using broadcast pictures and contact their patients through SM. The most popular network is LinkedIn, followed by Facebook. Most experienced surgeons use less SM, particularly Instagram, and value less Google reviews.PMID:37741363 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101499 (Source: Neurochirurgie)

The safety and effectiveness of lumbar drainage for cerebrospinal fluid leakage after spinal surgery
CONCLUSIONS: No major complications such as systemic infection, deep vein thrombosis, or aspiration pneumonia occurred during the lumbar drainage, except for 1 patient (0.8%) with CVI caused by over-drainage. One patient (0.8%) required open surgery after LDP, but no cases of systemic infection occurred while maintaining lumbar drainage, irrespective of antibiotic use. In conclusion, LDP is a safe and effective treatment for CSF leakage after spinal surgery.PMID:37741364 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101501 (Source: Neurochirurgie)

Effects of sodium fluoride on neural tube development in chick embryos
CONCLUSION: Low and high-dose fluoride exposure was associated with developing neural tube defects, but there was no statisticaly significance.PMID:37741361 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101502 (Source: Neurochirurgie)
