Outcomes of Surgical Decompression for Spinal Metastases from Gynecological Cancers: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND & AIM: Gynecological cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Nonetheless, spinal metastasis from gynecological cancer is scarcely reported in the literature. In cases of spinal cord compression, the standard treatment is a decompressive surgery followed by radiotherapy treatment for selected patients. This study aimed to report the overall survival and surgical re...

Micro-surgical decompression for greater occipital neuralgia.

AIM To evaluate the clinical effect of micro-surgical decompression of greater occipital nerve for greater occipital neuralgia (GON). MATERIAL AND METHODS 76 patients underwent surgical decompression of the great occipital nerve. A nerve block was tested before operation. The headache rapidly resolved after infiltration of 1% Lidocaine near the tender area of the nerve trunk. RESULTS 89 pro...

Surgical decompression for diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy.

Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy D iabetic neuropathy remains an unmet medical need. While scientific advances (1,2) have been made in understanding pathophysiology, the impact on the clinical care of patients has been minimal, aside from symptomatic treatments for the pain that may accompany diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DPN) (3). Improved glucose control is still the main recommendation fo...

Surgical decompression for cerebral and cerebellar infarcts.

Surgical Decompression for Cerebral and Cerebellar Infarcts • Following an infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere, massive cerebral edema developed in a woman and led to a marked intracranial hypertension and to a progressive "uncal and central herniation." The downhill course was reverted with a decompressive operation. Epidural pressure was monitored during the procedure and in the posto...
