Deep brain stimulation (#DBS) is a safe and proven medical treatment that has helped hundreds of thousands of people with movement disorders like Parkinson's, dystonia and essential tremor to manage their symptoms when medication alone was no longer effective.

Advancing Brain AVM Surgery: Happy to share our newly published study and an illustrative video. In collaboration with the ICCAS - Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery Leipzig and Erdem Güresir, our latest case report introduces the SHINE (Surgical Hyperspectral Imaging and Indocyanine Green Near-Infrared Evaluation) approach for brain AVM resection. By combining HSI and ICG VA, we enhance intraoperative evaluation of tissue oxygenation and perfusion, improving surgical precision and might improve patient safety.

NEUROSURGER Neurosurgery or neurological surgery, known in common parlance as brain surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the surgical treatment of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.[1 #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

"PARAFASCICULAR TRANSTUBULAR APPROACH" Enter the fascinating world of the Neuroendoport. An extraordinary advance in minimally invasive brain surgery. This innovative device offers solutions even in cases considered inoperable and in tumors that are difficult to access. Its design allows neurosurgeons to access brain tissue through a small incision in the skull, ensuring the preservation of surrounding healthy tissue. Discover how this technological marvel is revolutionizing neurosurgery, bringing new treatment opportunities and hope to those facing complex brain conditions. #Neuroendport #BrainSurgery #MedicalInnovation

Gamma Knife Surgery, a form of precision radiation therapy that does not involve incisions, has recently witnessed groundbreaking developments. While often used to treat brain tumors, ongoing research is poised to unlock many more potential applications, including Gamma Knife Surgery for autism, Parkinson's tremors, OCD, and anorexia, to name a few. This article by Dr. Roberto Martínez Álvarez, Head of the Radiosurgery and Functional Neurosurgery Unit at Ruber Internacional Hospital, Madrid, explores the lesser-known conditions treatable with Gamma Knife Surgery. https://lnkd.in/dCJwur2Y #GammaKnifeSurgery #Autism #Parkinsons #OCD #Anorexia

📃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.

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
