It preserves motion at the spinal segment and does not alter the local spinal anatomy significantly, resulting in a “functional and mobile” spine. Development of increasingly better-quality implants has seen their indiscriminate use in cases without any demonstrable instability. We see an increasing number of patients of lumbar disc prolapse being treated by fixation and fusion procedures, without any clear indication or evidence supporting such practice. This adds to the operating time, blood loss, cost of surgery and leads to loss of motion at the spinal segment resulting in a “stiff and immobile spine.” Our 10-year experience of treating lumbar disc herniation by micro-discectomy makes a strong case for preserving the spinal motion segment wherever possible and to use fixation very judiciously only in cases of proven instability. Materials and Methods A total of 295 cases of lumbar disc prolapse operated by the first author from January 2013 to April 2022 were analyzed. All the patients had unilateral or bilateral radicular pain. Preoperatively instability was ruled out by dynamic X-rays. All the patients were operated in prone position on Wilson's frame. Microdiscectomy was done through the inter-laminar space. Patient outcomes and complications were analyzed. Results There was no mortality in our series. All the patients had significant relief of lower limb pain with improved visual analog scale scores postoperatively. The patients were followed up for 6 months. There were complications in 17 patients, all of which were treated successfully with a good outcome. None of the complications were attributable to failure of doing fixation. Conclusion Lumbar disc prolapse can be treated effectively by microdiscectomy. Fixation should be reserved for only those cases with demonstrable preoperative instability.","PeriodicalId":53938,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neurosurgery","volume":"15 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80481471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The retrospective evaluation of 20 patients taken for therapeutic neurointervention through transradial access at our institute was done from July 2021 to April 2022. Results Therapeutic neurointervention procedures were attempted in 20 patients (age, 24–74 years; mean age, 48.4 years; 13 (65%) females using a transradial approach. The radial artery's mean diameter was 2.135 mm. The right radial access was taken in 18 (90%) cases. Indications for treatment were ruptured aneurysm in 13 (65%), mechanical thrombectomy in 5 (25%), flow diversion for a recanalized aneurysm in 1 (5%), and balloon occlusion test in 1 (5%) case. The procedure was successful through the transradial approach in 18 (90%) procedures. Failure was seen in two cases that were completed after conversion to the transfemoral approach. The reason for access conversion was a severe spasm in both cases. No significant access site complications were seen in the study cohort. Conclusion A radial access route is a promising approach for therapeutic interventions with a high success rate and minimal access site complications. Interventionists should get accustomed to this approach as primary or alternative access for neurointervention.","PeriodicalId":53938,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neurosurgery","volume":"341 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73754469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preserving facial nerve function in these cases remains a herculean task. This study evaluates the facial functions after complete tumor removal and whether preoperative facial nerve involvement affects postoperative functional status. Methods This retrospective study from January 2014 to August 2021 excluded nongiant tumors (< 4 cm), neurofibromatosis type 2 cases, incomplete removals, redo surgeries, deaths, and cases done without nerve monitoring. These were grouped into preoperative facial palsy present (PFP) and no preoperative facial palsy (NFP). Facial nerve functions were assessed on first postoperative day, at the time of discharge, and at last follow-up and dichotomized into two groups: nondisfiguring (House–Brackmann [HB] grades I–III) and disfiguring (HB grades IV–VI). The cohort outcomes of patients with nondisfiguring PFP (HB grades I–III) were also analyzed. Results There were 88 cases (PFP, n = 57; NFP, n = 31). Facial nerve was preserved anatomically in 62 (70.45%) patients (PFP, n = 38; NFP, n = 24) without any statistical difference ( p = 0.29). Statistically significant disfiguring facial outcomes (HB IV, V, VI) were seen in patients with preoperative facial palsy ( p = 0.01); however, a comparison of facial functions in patients with only nondisfiguring PFP with those in NFP group did not show the statistical difference ( p = 0.12). Conclusions Facial nerve palsy present before surgery does not seem to be a deterrent to intraoperative preservation of facial nerve during complete removal of giant vestibular schwannomas. Patients with nondisfiguring facial palsies have postoperative facial functions comparable to those without facial palsy.","PeriodicalId":53938,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neurosurgery","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84595140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main choice of treatment is surgery. Along with many surgical techniques described for evacuation of cSDH, we are presenting the preliminary outcomes of a novel surgical method, mini-perforated craniotomy with a subperiosteal drain. Materials and Methods Patients in whom cSDH with thickness of >10 mm was observed in computed tomography (CT) scans with parenchymal compression and/or midline shift were included in this study. Age, sex, complaint, neurological status, and medical history were recorded along with CT findings. Mini-perforated craniotomy was performed on all patients. A subperiosteal drain was used. The postoperative follow-up period was 3 months. Results Ten cSDH patients who were admitted to Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascioglu City Hospital between December 2020 and May 2021 were included in this study. The mean age was 64.3 ± 6.272, and the most common admission complaint was a headache. Postoperatively, one patient showed acute rebleeding after the operation due to dual anticoagulant therapy. Besides, in 3 months follow-up, rebleeding, subdural or epidural effusion, wound infection, or cosmetic problems were not observed. Conclusion Mini-perforated craniotomy with a subperiosteal drain may be an alternative method for evacuation of cSDH with low complication rates especially when the hematoma is suspected to be septated.","PeriodicalId":53938,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neurosurgery","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83348765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study was aimed to study gender differences in neurocognitive functions in mild to moderate epidural hematoma patients (43 male and 19 female patients) post-surgery using standardized assessment tools of comprehensive neurocognitive function attention, speed, working memory, fluency, set-shifting, perseveration, planning and response inhibition. Methods Descriptive statistics, i.e., mean and standard deviation (SD) values were computed, and a t -test was applied for further exploration. Results The analysis of results shows that on the test of working memory, female group scored better as significant differences were found on N-Back (2 Back versions) and digit span-backward. On the verbal fluency test (COWA), significant difference was found as females scored higher than the male group on total responses. However, the male group was higher in total time and error than the female group on the test of sustained attention and divided attention. Conclusion This study shows interesting results in terms of gender differences in executive function of patients operated for mild to moderate epidural hematoma. These findings have significant clinical and implications for planning intervention. The neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients operated for mild to moderate epidural hematoma has a crucial role in enhancing their recovery and overall functioning. Inputs about gender differences in neuro psychological functioning of these patients would help in decision making regarding neuropsychological rehabilitation incorporating the gender related differences too in their intervention plan.","PeriodicalId":53938,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Neurosurgery","volume":"474 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86738860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
