Abstract Background Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common spinal pathology.
Traditionally, spinal fusion is an accepted standard surgical treatment for
listhesis. But fusion is a major intervention with its known pitfalls. With
technological progression, minimally invasive spinal fusion (MISF) procedures
are becoming mainstream. Percutaneous trans-foraminal endoscopic lumbar

Abstract Background The aim of lumbopelvic fixation is to obtain a solid fusion
across the lumbosacral junction. There are many indications for lumbopelvic
fixation, namely, spinal deformity in cases requiring long segment fusion,
pelvic obliquity, pseudarthrosis at the lumbosacral junction, infection or
osteolytic tumors, and pathologic fractures. The classical iliac screws should
be contained wi... hiện toàn bộ
Cerebellar contusion accounts for 0.54% of traumatic brain injuries. They
present with a variety of symptoms like ataxia, dysmetria, dysdiadokinesia, and
vertigo. CT scan is the gold standard investigation for diagnosing acute
cerebellar contusions. Due to the low incidence of this disease, there are no
medical guidelines available for the management of cerebellar contusions. A

AbstractBackgroundAnterior cervical foraminotomy represents a relatively recent
minimally invasive approach that can potentially preserve the intervertebral
disc and thus the functional motion segment.ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate
the clinical outcome of microendoscopic anterior cervical foraminotomy (MACF)
for patients with cervical unilateral radiculopathy due to single level soft

Abstract Background Subdural hematoma (SDH) at a remote operative site is
uncommon following neurosurgical procedures. However, supratentorial SDH is one
of the rare complications following microvascular decompression (MVD). We report
a case of supratentorial SDH following MVD. The welling of cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) in the cerebellomedullary fissure was observed unexpectedly during the
dissectio... hiện toàn bộ
