To evaluate the effectiveness of orbital decompression intervention in terms variation exophthalmos and to highlight its association with changes quality life before after surgery. Medical records patients moderate-severe GO who underwent surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical parameters, including demographic characteristics, surgical technique, values, QoL using GO-QoL questionnaire ...

The paper suggests a case of radical correction scoliosis complicated with syringomyelia. They were expounded stages operative treatment of spine without using neurosurgical methods of CNS decompression. The study concludes that at absence of pronounced disturbances of the motor sphere in the initial neurologic status of the patients, and in the absence of stable deterioration in the neurologic...

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...

Aims: This study was conducted to evaluate pudendal entrapment as an etiology of chronic pain, a diagnostic protocol for pudendal entrapment, and clinical response to surgical decompression. Methods: A case series of 58 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of pudendal entrapment, based on clinical factors, neurophysiologic studies, and response to pudendal nerve infiltrations, is described. Al...

INTRODUCTION Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is a congenital hindbrain anomaly that requires surgical decompression in symptomatic patients. Posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty (PFDD) has been widely practiced in Chiari decompression, but dural opening carries a high risk of surgical complications. A minimally invasive technique, dural splitting decompression (DSD), preserves the in...

Interventions which may improve neurological outcomes, including time to surgical decompression, in traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) evoke much interest. The majority of TSCI patients in Ireland are managed acutely at the National Spinal Injuries Unit (NSIU). A retrospective review of healthcare records of TSCI patients, who had surgical management there, in 2010, 2011, 2012, was performed. ...

BACKGROUND Because previous studies have suggested that motorized non-surgical spinal decompression can reduce chronic low back pain (LBP) due to disc degeneration (discogenic low back pain) and disc herniation, it has accordingly been hypothesized that the reduction of pressure on affected discs will facilitate their regeneration. The goal of this study was to determine if changes in LBP, as m...

To compare the long and short term effectiveness and complications of different surgical approaches for Lumber disk protrusion combined with Cauda Equina Syndrome and find a better surgical method for the disease. In this study, follow up records of 144 patients received conventional laminectomy and minimally invasive decompression and fenestration 48 hours within acute injury of lumber disk pr...

The purpose of the present study was to describe a new minimally invasive surgical technique for decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. Four patients underwent surgical treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome. Preoperative clinical states were classified by using the McGowan grading system and the postoperative states were recorded by using the Wil...

Patients with progressive blindness resulting from bony proliferative diseases such as osteopetrosis may benefit from optic canal decompression. A radiologic technique is described whereby the practicality of surgical optic canal widening is evaluated preoperatively using the intrathecal water-soluble contrast agent lopamidol. Conceptually, if a patient who is losing vision demonstrates a block...
