The Kempe incision for decompressive craniectomy, craniotomy, and cranioplasty in traumatic brain injury and stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The Kempe incision for craniectomy or craniotomy is a safe, feasible, and effective alternative to the RQM. The authors advocate the Kempe incision in cases in which contralateral operative pathology or subsequent craniofacial/skull base repair is anticipated.PMID:34020415 | DOI:10.3171/2020.11.JNS203567

Adverse events after clipping of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: the NSQIP unruptured aneurysm scale.
CONCLUSIONSThe NSQIP unruptured aneurysm scale may augment the risk stratification of patients undergoing microsurgical clipping of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. PMID: 30875693 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Surgery for nerve injury: current and future perspectives.
Abstract In this review article, the authors offer their perspective on nerve surgery for nerve injury, with a focus on recent evolution of management and the current surgical management. The authors provide a brief historical perspective to lay the foundations of the modern understanding of clinical nerve injury and its evolving management, especially over the last century. The shift from evaluation of the nerve injury using macroscopic techniques of exploration and external neurolysis to microscopic interrogation, interfascicular dissection, and internal neurolysis along with the use of intraoperative electrophy...

Intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells promotes functional recovery in a rat model of chronic cerebral infarction.
CONCLUSIONSThese results indicate that the systemic infusion of MSCs results in functional improvement, which is associated with structural changes in the chronic phase of cerebral infarction, including in the stabilization of the BBB. PMID: 30485210 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Brain repair by hematopoietic growth factors in the subacute phase of traumatic brain injury.
CONCLUSIONS SCF + G-CSF treatment in the subacute phase of TBI restored TBI-impaired spatial learning and memory, prevented posttraumatic anxiety and risk-taking behavior, inhibited TBI-induced neurodegeneration, and enhanced neural network remodeling. These findings suggest the therapeutic potential of hematopoietic growth factors for brain repair in the subacute phase of TBI. PMID: 29372883 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Combined interventional and surgical treatment of tandem middle cerebral artery embolus and internal carotid artery occlusion: case report.
Abstract Tandem internal carotid artery (ICA) origin occlusion and middle cerebral artery (MCA) thromboembolism is a life-threatening condition with poor neurological outcome. The authors report on a patient presenting with acute ischemic stroke from a tandem ICA and MCA occlusion with penumbra. Emergency MCA mechanical thrombectomy was performed through percutaneous cervical ICA access due to the inability to cross the cervical carotid occlusion. Emergency carotid endarterectomy to reperfuse the poorly collateralized hemisphere and repair the ICA access site was performed 2 hours after completion of tissue plasmi...

Decompressive craniectomy using gelatin film and future bone flap replacement.
Conclusions Decompressive craniectomy repair using an absorbable gelatin film barrier facilitates subsequent cranioplasty by preventing adhesions between intracranial contents and the overlying galea aponeurotica and temporalis muscle fascia. This technique makes cranioplasty dissection faster and potentially safer, which may improve clinical outcomes. The indications for gelatin film should be expanded to include placement in the epidural space after craniectomy. PMID: 23394343 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
