📃Scientific paper: How I do it — asleep DBS placement for Parkinson’s disease Abstract: Background Traditionally, functional neurosurgery relied in stereotactic atlases and intraoperative micro-registration in awake patients for electrode placement in Parkinson’s disease. Cumulative experience on target description, refinement of MRI, and advances in intraoperative imaging has enabled accurate preoperative planning and its implementation with the patient under general anaesthesia. Methods Stepwise description, emphasising preoperative planning, and intraoperative imaging verification, for transition to asleep-DBS surgery. Conclusion Direct targeting relies on MRI anatomic landmarks and accounts for interpersonal variability. Indeed, the asleep procedure precludes patient distress. A particular complication to avoid is pneumocephalus; it can lead to brain-shift and potential deviation of electrode trajectory.

Surgeons performing brain surgery are about to gain a game-changer: a revolutionary microdisplay. This thin film combines electrode grids and LEDs, allowing it to track and visualize brain activity in real time during surgery. This is a massive leap forward, offering crucial visual information to neurosurgeons. Imagine surgeons being able to see critical brain functions like movement and sensation during surgery. This microdisplay has the potential to significantly improve surgical outcomes for brain tumors, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions. By providing real-time brain mapping, it allows for precise tumor and lesion removal while minimizing healthy tissue loss. Additionally, the device can identify and potentially stop epileptic seizures before they spread, opening doors for more targeted treatment. This technology has the potential to revolutionize brain surgery, leading to better outcomes for patients. https://lnkd.in/gFQzBVqF #neurosurgery #brainhealth #medicaltechnology #UCSanDiego #MGH #PhotonicSpots #PhotonicsTimes #Photonics UC San Diego Massachusetts General Hospital https://lnkd.in/gkSfuPcM

🧠 Incredible how our brain can study the brain 🧠 Happy to have been affiliated with Global Neurosurgical Alliance to work on Neurosurgery recently. My latest paper included advancements in treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia through Awake MVD. Here are the key findings from this research: Real-Time Patient Feedback: Awake neurosurgery allows patients to provide immediate feedback during the procedure, enhancing precision and safety Improved Precision: Combining advanced imaging techniques with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring provides a detailed map of the brain and nerve structures, ensuring accurate decompression and minimizing collateral damage Reduced Postoperative Complications: The precise adjustments made possible by patient feedback during surgery result in fewer complications and better pain relief outcomes Enhanced Surgical Techniques: Innovations in surgical methods, such as using smaller incisions and advanced tools, have made MVD safer and more effective Shorter Recovery Times: Patients undergoing awake MVD often experience quicker recovery times due to the minimal invasive nature of the procedure and the immediate correction of any issues during surgery. This narrative review underscores the transformative potential of awake MVD in treating trigeminal neuralgia, making it a go-to option for patients.

🧠 Precision in brain surgery: the critical role of neuromonitoring. When it comes to brain surgery, every millimeter counts. Conditions like brain tumors, epilepsy, and aneurysms require the utmost precision during surgical intervention. That’s where intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) becomes essential. Why is Neuromonitoring Crucial in Brain Surgery? 🔹 Protecting critical functions IONM helps surgeons navigate the brain’s complex structure by providing real-time data on neural activity, ensuring that critical areas responsible for speech, movement, and cognition are preserved. 🔹 Reducing risk of complications During procedures such as tumour resections or epilepsy surgeries, neuromonitoring can significantly reduce the risk of neurological damage, helping to avoid potential complications that could affect a patient’s quality of life. 🔹 Enhancing surgical outcomes By allowing immediate adjustments during surgery, IONM contributes to more successful outcomes and faster recovery times for patients. At Axiom Neuromonitoring, we specialise in providing advanced neuromonitoring services that empower surgeons to perform complex brain surgeries with greater accuracy and confidence. Our expertise ensures that patient safety and optimal outcomes are always our top priority. Trust in the precision of Axiom Neuromonitoring to make a difference in brain surgery. 📞 Contact us to learn more about how our services can support your surgical team and improve patient outcomes. https://lnkd.in/evjBNmS5 #AxIOMNeuromonitoring #ExcellenceinIOM #PatientSafety #BrainSurgery #Neuromonitoring

The paper of the week: Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Corrective Surgery of Scoliosis: Experience at a Tertiary Care Hospital. Sajid Ali, Muhammad Talha, Muhammad Asad Qureshi, Prof Dr Maj Gen (R) Muhammad Asad Qureshi, Waseem Afzal, Babar Shamim, Shahzad Inam CONCLUSION Multimodal IONM reduces the incidence of postoperative neurological deficit in corrective surgery of scoliosis by effectively detecting neurologic injury during the course of surgery. Monitoring events alert surgical team to exercise immediate corrective measures which likely results in the recovery of lost signals and predict the favourable outcome in high-risk spinal surgeries. #ionm #Intraoperativemonitoring #Motorevokedpotentials #Neurologicaldeficit #Scoliosis #Somatosensoryevokedpotentials #emg #neurophysiology doi:10.29271/jcpsp.2024.03.284

I'm excited to share my latest paper, "Intraoperative fluorescence redefining neurosurgical precision," published in the International Journal of Surgery, ranked 2nd out of 551 titles in surgery for 2024. Despite advancements in neurosurgical imaging, nerve identification remains a significant challenge. Current methods often lead to iatrogenic nerve damage, contributing to sensory and functional deficits post-surgery. With an 8% incidence of such injuries globally each year, there's an urgent need for precise intraoperative techniques. Our study explores the potential of Nerve Peptide 41 (NP41), a novel systemically administered fluorescent probe targeting nerves. Unlike traditional agents, NP41 shows promise in enhancing nerve visualization during surgery, potentially minimizing iatrogenic damage and improving patient outcomes.
