Innovations in the Art of Microneurosurgery for Reaching Deep-Seated Cerebral Lesions.

2019

Deep-seated cerebral lesions have fascinated and frustrated countless surgical innovators since the dawn of the microneurosurgical era. To determine the optimal approach, the microneurosurgeon must take into account the characteristics and location of the pathological lesion as well as the operator's range of technical expertise. Increasingly, microneurosurgeons must select between multiple operative corridors that can provide access to the surgical target. Innovative trajectories have emerged for many indications that provide more flexible operative angles and superior exposure but result in longer working distances and more technically demanding maneuvers. In this article, we highlight 4 …

A curved Lowsley retractor improves manoeuvrability of the prostate during ascending radical retropubic prostatectomy

2007

Worldwide, radical retropubic prostatectomy is the commonest surgical procedure for treating localized prostate cancer. The technique has evolved continuously over the years, yielding improved continence and potency while reducing considerably the associated complications. Simple surgical ‘tricks’ have been proposed for crucial steps, e.g. the control of the dorsal venous complex, atraumatic dissection of the neurovascular bundles (NVBs), improved visualization of the urethral stump and tailoring of the vesicourethral anastomosis [1,2].

Anatomy online: presentation of a detailed WWW atlas of human gross anatomy--reference for medical education.

2002

We present an online anatomy atlas based on the Visible Human Project (VHP) of the US National Library of Medicine. The objective is to provide original unlabeled as well as labeled sections of the human body of high quality and resolution on the Internet, for use in basic and continuing medical education. For a representative overview of the body, 370 axial sections were selected from the male and female data base of the VHP with special regard to regions of clinical interest. Each section is accompanied by its corresponding computer tomography (CT) image and, if available, magnetic resonance images (MRI) for quick and easy comparison of morphologic and radiologic structures. The sections …

The Pomar Codex (ca, 1590): plants and animals of the old world and from the Hernandez expedition to America.

1992

Abstract<title> RIASSUNTO </title>Si descrive un codice illustrato (ca. 1590), donato dal re Filippo II a Honorato Pomar, professore di medicina botanica all'Università di Valencia, e ora conservato nella biblioteca della stessa universita. Tale codice contiene 218 acquarelli di piante e animali del Vecchio Continente e provenienti dalla spedizione nelle Americhe di Hernandez (1571-1577). Inoltre, l'articolo si sofferma brevemente sull'interesse di Filippo II per la storia naturale, sulla spedizione di Hernandez e sulla cattedra di botanica medica all'universita di Valencia nel corso del sedicesimo secolo. Infine, si discute dell'identita dell'autore delle illustrazioni e dei te…

Endoscope-assisted Brain Surgery: Part 1—Evolution, Basic Concept, and Current Technique

1998

Rationale The evolution of neurosurgical techniques indicates the effort to reduce surgery-related traumatization of patients. The reduction of traumatization contributes to better postoperative outcomes. The improvement of diagnostic imaging techniques facilitates not only the precise localization of lesions but also the accurate determination of topographical relations of specific lesions to individual anatomic variations of intracranial structures. This precision of diagnostic imaging should be used to perform individual surgical procedures through so-called keyhole approaches. Keyhole craniotomies are afflicted with a reduction of light intensity in the depth of the operating field, and…

Cisternostomy: A Timely Intervention in Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries: Rationale, Indications, and Prospects.

2019

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a major public health concern worldwide, with no significant change in its epidemiology over the last 30 years. After TBI, the primary injury induces irreversible brain damage, which is untreatable. The subsequent secondary injury plays a critical role in the clinical prognosis because without effective treatment it will provide additional tissue damage. The resulting scenario is the rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) with the development of progressive neurological deficits. Current optimal management is based on a progressive, target-driven approach combining both medical and surgical treatment strategies among which is decompressive hemicraniectom…

Las imágenes de la textualidad tipográfica. Brevete sobre el Format-Büchlein (Graz, 1670-1677)

2009

Se trata brevemente del contenido de Format-Büchlein, impreso en Graz entre 1670 y 1677, que trata de los distintos formatos de los libros, aunque incluye otras muchas consideraciones sobre el arte de imprimir; comentando alguna de las ilustraciones de materia tipográfica incluidas en la obra. This study deals briefly with the content of Format-Büchlein, printed in Graz between 1670 and 1677, a work on different book formats, although it also includes many other considerations on the art of printing. I comment on some of the illustrations on typographical matters that are included in the work.
