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
discectomy/decomp... hiện toàn bộ

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
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 The indications of transcranial approaches for pituitary
adenomas have declined in the last decades with the widespread performance of
endoscopic transsphenoidal approaches. The aim of the study was to review the
current indications of transcranial approaches for pituitary adenomas and to
evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome following these approaches.

Abstract Background Arachnoid cysts (ACs) account for about 1% of all
intracranial mass lesions. The Sylvian fissure is the most common site of ACs
which are usually asymptomatic. Traumatic rupture of arachnoid cysts complicated
with subdural hygroma is a relatively rare entity in adults especially in
females. There is no consensus on their management and each case could add to
previous experience... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract Background Management of pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis still
represent a major conflict and challenge in neurosurgery due to different
pathogens and the different methods available for management. Objective The aim
of this study was to evaluate the outcome of posterior lumbar spinal fixation
with debridement as a treatment modality in the management of pyogenic lumbar
spondylodiscitis.... hiện toàn bộ
