Surgical management of ameloblastoma. Review of literature
2019
Background Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that represents 1% of all tumors in the oral cavity and it is clinically classified in three types. Currently, solid and multi-cystic are considered locally aggressive, with high recurrence rates with conservative treatment. Material and methods Objective of the present review is to assess whether the surgical treatment should be conservative or radical. English articles published between 2009-2014, with available summary and in humans were included. Results 241 articles were found, 188 were excluded because analyzing. 53 articles were analyzed and finally 14 were selected for this review. Conclusions The optimal surgical treatment of amelobl…
Endoscope-assisted keyhole surgery for aneurysms of the anterior circulation and the basilar apex
2000
In the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative strategies for microsurgical approaches are important issues. Within the context of minimally invasive neurosurgery, so-called keyhole approaches, especially those with intraoperative endoscopic assistance, have gained increasing interest, but their application for cerebral aneurysm surgery is a matter of ongoing controversy. The main aspects of keyhole microsurgery, with and without endoscopic assistance, for cerebral aneurysms are explained. To present the keyhole concept, which is based on the preoperative analysis and intraoperative use of pre-existing anatomic windows, this article concentrates on…
Das Pulmonalarteriensarkom - Prä- und postoperative radiologische Befunde bei der Tumorerstmanifestation und beim Rezidiv
2008
Purpose Primary pulmonary artery sarcomas are very rare tumors. Their diagnosis is difficult due to their unspecific symptoms. Still, an early preoperative diagnosis is the only possibility for a potential therapy. Patients and methods 4 pre- and 5 postoperative CT- and three pre- and one postoperative MRT-examination(s) have been evaluated with respect to surgical and histological findings. Results The presence of a convex intraluminal bulging mass spreading mostly from the pulmonary trunc continuously into the peripheral pulmonary artery branches the filling and dilatation of the vessels, the tumor's inhomogeneity indicating hemorrhages and necrosis and the appearance of intrapulmonary no…
Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Mapping Usefulness in the Surgical Management of Patients Affected by Brain Tumors in Eloquent Area…
2021
Background: The surgical strategy for brain glioma has changed, shifting from tumor debulking to a more careful tumor dissection with the aim of a gross-total resection, extended beyond the contrast-enhancement MRI, including the hyperintensity on FLAIR MR images and defined as supratotal resection. It is possible to pursue this goal thanks to the refinement of several technological tools for pre and intraoperative planning including intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), cortico-subcortical mapping, functional MRI (fMRI), navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS), intraoperative CT or MRI (iCT, iMR), and intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound. This systematic re…
Rates of Upper Facet Joint Violation in Minimally Invasive Percutaneous and Open Instrumentation: A Comparative Cohort Study of Different Insertion T…
2017
Background Minimally invasive pedicle screw placement may have a higher incidence of violation of the superior cephalad unfused facet joint. Study Aims We investigated the incidence and risk factors of upper facet joint violation in percutaneous robot-assisted instrumentation versus percutaneous fluoroscopy-guided and open transpedicular instrumentation. Methods A retrospective study including all consecutive patients who underwent lumbar instrumentation, fusion, and decompression for spondylolisthetic stenosis and degenerative disk disease was conducted between January 2012 and January 2016. All operations were performed by the same surgeon; the patients were divided into three groups acc…
