To predict long-term morbidity and mortality, various scoring systems have been considered; nonetheless, a model that can be utilized to estimate nonmajor temporary complications and minor complications is currently lacking. To evaluate the occurrence rate of perioperative complications in various surgical domains, the E-PASS (Estimation of Physiological Ability and Surgical Stress) score is employed. This study was carried out to investigate the utility of the E-PASS score as a predictive factor for the risk of minor complications in patients undergoing CEA. The retrospective analysis was performed for 104 consecutive series of CEA procedures carried out at Otaru Municipal Hospital. The correlation between E-PASS and the rate of minor complications was examined. Sensitivity and specificity were used to construct a receiver operating characteristic curve, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for accuracy. Postoperative minor complications occurred in eight cases (7.7%), including six vagal nerve injuries and two pneumonia cases. Three categorical data-preoperative risk score, surgical stress scores, and comprehensive risk score (CRS) -showed a good relationship with the postoperative minor complication. Among them, CRS presented the highest sensitivity and specificity, as indicated by an AUC of 0.68. The CRS cutoff value was calculated as -0.068, with a 1.7% postoperative minor complication rate for those lower than -0.068 and 14.0% for those higher than -0.068. The E-PASS score was effective for evaluating and predicting postoperative minor complications in patients with CEA procedures.","PeriodicalId":19225,"journal":{"name":"Neurologia medico-chirurgica","volume":" ","pages":"9-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11807687/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142710645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although most patients present with unilateral CSDH, bilateral involvement is not rare. Furthermore, bilateral CSDHs are associated with rapid deterioration and poorer outcomes because of a higher risk of brain herniation than unilateral hematomas. The most contentious issue is the potential herniation of the medial temporal lobe, which remains on the unevacuated side during the brief interval between right and left procedures. We compared simultaneous burr-hole craniostomy with consecutive burr-hole craniostomy for treating bilateral CSDH and to determine whether consecutive evacuation is riskier in terms of brain stem complications.Over a 6.5-year period, patients with bilateral CSDH who had an indication for operation were allocated into two groups randomly. The first group (n = 18) underwent simultaneous evacuation, and the second group (n = 25) underwent consecutive evacuation. Glasgow Coma Scale and Markwalder grades were recorded during the postoperative period. Patients were followed up during the inpatient period and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge. Mortality, morbidity, surgical complications, reoperation, and, as a combination of all of these, treatment success rates were compared. Treatment success rates were worse in patients with mixed-density hematomas and in female patients at the end of 12 months, but there was no significant difference between the simultaneous and consecutive evacuation groups at any time. Therefore, the choice of technique can be decided by the surgeon.","PeriodicalId":19225,"journal":{"name":"Neurologia medico-chirurgica","volume":" ","pages":"419-427"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11729258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142504894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pooled frequency of CDKN2A/B-HomoD in grade 3 mOlig by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (20.3%) was higher than that by other methods (7.3%; P < 0.0006), probably due to the lower threshold for CDKN2A/B-HomoD in FISH studies that was used in this analysis. The frequency (95% CI) of other alterations of the CDKN2A/B gene, i.e., mutation, hemizygous deletion, and promoter methylation, was estimated as 1.48% (0.6-3.5), 15.9% (9.8-24.7), and 20.6% (13.7-29.8), respectively.

The learning curve in the acquisition of psychomotor skills varies among individuals, and studies about laparoscopy indicate that the difference can be predicted using spatial ability tests. We examined the association between the results of such tests and the learning curve in ETSS to determine the need for a personalized curriculum for ETSS skill training. A total of 30 fifth-year medical students from Kindai University School of Medicine (17 men, 13 women; mean age, 26 years) without ETSS experience completed the spatial orientation test (SOT) for the measurement of spatial visualization ability. They performed the dural incision task (DIT) twice on an ETSS training model for surgical psychomotor skill evaluation. The SOT scores (angle errors) exhibited substantial individual differences in spatial visualization ability, whereas the DIT scores significantly improved in the second trial (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P = 0.0035). However, no significant difference was observed in the DIT scores between the smaller error and larger error groups of the SOT. The results indicated that two DIT trials were sufficient to acquire psychomotor skills for the DIT as the endoscope was almost fixed and learning only one viewpoint and line of sight combination was adequate. In conclusion, a personalized ETSS training program based on the trainee's spatial ability is not necessary for the DIT. Further research is warranted to determine the effect of spatial ability on more complex tasks, such as suturing in cranial base repair.","PeriodicalId":19225,"journal":{"name":"Neurologia medico-chirurgica","volume":" ","pages":"395-400"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11617353/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142350929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS), an excellent approach for clear and magnified operative visual field since it allows saline irrigation and minimizes destruction of surrounding tissues, has been applied to the treatment. This study aims to present a case series of patients with lumbar LFH treated by FESS.This case series consists of 17 lumbar LFH cases treated by FESS between May 2018 and November 2021 at a single institution. Patient background and operative data were collected from their medical records. The numerical rating scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively.Elderly men tend to suffer from lumbar LFH at the L4/5 vertebral level. Discontinuity with facet joint was confirmed under endoscopic visualization in all 17 cases. Blood clots were also observed in all cases under endoscope. The mean operative time was 68.6 min without complication. The patients were discharged at average 1.4 days after FESS with significant improvement of NRS score (P < 0.001). ODI and EQ-5D scores 2-year postoperatively statistically improved (P < 0.001), and there was no recurrence during followup period.The operative outcomes of lumbar LFH treated by FESS were satisfactory. FESS excels not only in the diagnosis but also in the treatment of lumbar LFH.","PeriodicalId":19225,"journal":{"name":"Neurologia medico-chirurgica","volume":" ","pages":"401-408"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11617355/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142350927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
