Extracranial-to-intracranial bypass using radial artery grafting for complex skull base tumors: technical note.
The management of complex skull base tumors that incorporate large intracranial vessels poses challenging questions. Patients who fail initial surgical resection and adjunctive therapies (i.e., radiosurgery) who present with tumor regrowth may be candidates for parent vessel occlusion and total tumor resection in combination with extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass to augment the sacrif...
متن کاملCranionavigator combining a high-speed drill and a navigation system for skull base surgery--technical note.
Drilling of the skull base bone without damaging the important inside structures and with the correct orientation is very difficult even with the help of the anatomical landmarks. Monitoring of the location and direction of the drill tip and indications of the removed part of the bone during the drilling procedure enhances safety and achieves less invasive neurosurgery. We have developed a nove...
متن کاملMulti-size, Multi-angle Microbipolar Forceps for Skull Base Surgery: Technical Note
Objective Hemorrhage control in skull base surgery is critical but hindered by the lack of instruments suitable for coagulating structural curves and corners. The main impediment is that most of the instruments currently used are right-angled and unsuitable because anatomical and pathologic structures are three-dimensional objects having complex curves and corners. In this article, we present a...
متن کاملApplication of ultrasonic bone curette in endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery: technical note.
Background Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) of the skull base often requires extensive bone work in proximity to critical neurovascular structures. Objective To demonstrate the application of an ultrasonic bone curette during EES. Methods Ten patients with skull base lesions underwent EES from September 2011 to April 2012 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Most of the bone work w...
متن کاملRadiolucent Skull Clamps for Intra-Operative Imaging: A Technical Note
Conventionally, surgery and procedural-based radiology are performed on different premises. With advances in imaging technology, the operating room is rapidly being transformed into an intraoperative imaging suite. Diagnostic imaging in conjunction with surgery has great utility and by all accounts has great future potential. During the last decade, cone beam computed tomography (CT) scanners h...
