Cervical Cord Decompression Using Extended Anterior Cervical Foraminotomy Technique
OBJECTIVE At present, gold-standard technique of cervical cord decompression is surgical decompression and fusion. But, many complications related cervical fusion have been reported. We adopted an extended anterior cervical foraminotomy (EACF) technique to decompress the anterolateral portion of cervical cord and report clinical results and effectiveness of this procedure. METHODS Fifty-three...
متن کاملCrisis management during anaesthesia: obstruction of the natural airway.
BACKGROUND Obstruction of the natural airway, while usually easily recognised and managed, may present simply as desaturation, have an unexpected cause, be very difficult to manage, and have serious consequences for the patient. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a previously described core algorithm "COVER ABCD-A SWIFT CHECK", supplemented by a specific sub-algorithm for obstruction of the na...
متن کاملAnterior decompression and fusion in cervical spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is the most frequent reason for progressive impairment of spinal cord and nerve roots, which is clinically manifested as cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), cervical radiculopathy, or both. Eighty operated patients are presented (49 men and 31 women), who had evidence of CSM and/ or radiculopathy. Age ranged from 26 to 80 years (mean 50 years). Depending on the predomina...
متن کامل“White Cord Syndrome” of Acute Tetraplegia after Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion for Chronic Spinal Cord Compression: A Case Report
Paralysis is the most feared postoperative complication of ACDF and occurs most often due to an epidural hematoma. In the absence of a clear etiology, inadequate decompression or vascular insult such as ischemia/reperfusion injury are the usual suspects. Herewith we report a case of complete loss of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) during elective ACDF at C4-5 and C5-6 followed by postop...
متن کاملAnaesthesia and tracheobronchial stenting for central airway obstruction in adults.
In the last decade, stents suitable for the management of tracheobronchial stenoses and obstruction have evolved from bulky prostheses requiring tracheal resection to small devices that are self-expanding and can be inserted using fibreoptic techniques. The experience base for this review is more than 100 patients between 1989 and 2001 who have been anaesthetized for stent insertion. Early case...
