Hyperintense severe reperfusion sign associated with hemorrhagic alteration inside the WAKEUP trial

Needlescopic TEP is a useful procedure that decreases operative duration with no significant differences in perioperative morbidity compared with conventional TEP.

Considering the inflexible construction of the rigid endoscope, it's not clear where to perform the optimal craniotomy. Twenty four craniotomies (3 cm diameter) were performed in 8 hemicrania. The craniotomies were placed 1 cm front and behind the coronal suture and to the point where the parietal bone was the most convex. The craniotomies in the anterior (C1) and posterior (C2) of the coronal suture were in the mid pupillary line, while the posterior craniotomy (C3) was just lateral to the midpupillary line. At first, subdural distances measured, and then the distances from the craniotomy to the anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral directions in which endoscope could reach the farthest without the damage to the parenchyma were measured. The subdural distance was significantly deeper in C3 than C1 (P = 0.001); however, there was no difference between C3 and C2 (P = 0.312). The distance that could be reached with C3 was higher than C1 in anterior, posterior, lateral, and medial directions (P ≤0.001, 0.037, less then 0.001, and less then 0.001, respectively). The distance that could be reached with C3 was higher than C2 in anterior, posterior, lateral, and medial directions (P less then 0.001, 0.02, 0.01 and less then 0.001, respectively). In subdural hematomas, especially that covers all surface of the hemisphere, the most suitable craniotomy is the posteriorly placed craniotomy to reach the most extended projection in anteroposterior line of the hematoma.Palatal fistulae are common complications of cleft palate surgery with a frequency of 5% to 29% and are challenging to repair. Optimal timing to repair palatal fistulae, in a staged fashion before alveolar bone grafting, or at the same time, still remains controversial. The primary aim of this study is to compare outcomes of 2 groups with regard to successful alveolar bone grafting in patients with cleft lip and palate and palatal fistulae. We describe a review of 85 consecutive patients identified as undergoing bone grafting from a single institution craniofacial team during 2003 to 2018. Twenty-eight required palatal fistula repair. All patients had a diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral complete cleft lip and palate. Patients with cleft lip and palate repairs were stratified based on preoperative or simultaneous palatal fistula repair. Panoramic radiographs were reviewed by 2 physicians to evaluate success of bone grafting. Avasimibe Comparison between cohorts was made by statistical analysis. Of the 28 that required palatal fistula repair, 15 (53.6%) patients underwent prebone grafting palatal fistula repair and 13 (46.4%) patients underwent simultaneous bone grafting with palatal fistula repair. Mean age at time of bone grafting and palatal fistula repair were 10.60 years old and 9.39 years old, respectively. Length to follow-up was 54.82 months. The average height of the healed alveolar cleft site for patients in the prebone grafting or simultaneous groups was 10.57 mm and 11.46 mm, respectively. Patients who underwent palatal fistula repair and simultaneous bone grafting had similar outcomes as those with palatal fistula repair preoperatively.
Craniomaxillofacial surgery has the characteristics of complex anatomical structure, narrow surgical field, and easy damage to nerves, blood vessels, and other structures. Compared with the traditional bare-hand operation, robot-assisted craniofacial surgery is expected to achieve a more stable and accurate surgical operation. So we have developed a robot-assisted craniofacial surgery system. A compact mechanism design was adopted for the robot system, integrates with visual and force perception modules. The motion analysis and working space analysis are carried out on the mechanical structure. The binocular vision module is integrated and the robot hand-eye calibration process was completed. The target tracking method based on staple is used to achieve tracking and monitoring of the target area. A distributed robot control system based on CAN bus technology is designed, and a position-based visual servo control method is adopted. Then the precision test of the robot system prototype and the drilling experiniofacial robot system can better assist surgeons to complete the mandibular osteotomy.
Midface augmentation and orbital surgery carry an inherent risk of injury to the infraorbital vascular bundle, especially the infraorbital nerve where it exits the infraorbital foramen (IOF). This can result in significant morbidity for the patient, including paresthesia and neuralgia. Studies report significant heterogeneity in IOF position according to gender, ethnicity, and laterality. A knowledge of the relationship of the IOF to regional soft tissue, bony landmarks, and its variation among ethnicities is likely to reduce iatrogenic injuries.
A single-center retrospective computed tomography (CT)-based study was conducted. Twenty Caucasians and 20 Black Africans patients were selected from an existing radiologic database at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK. DICOM image viewing software (Syngo, Siemens Healthineers) was used to record the position of the IOF using standardized sagittal and axial views.
There was a statistically significant difference in the horizontal position of the IOF in the 2 races (P = 0.00). The combined measurements were used to derive a rectangular zone of variability measuring 14.30 mm by 10.60 mm. This zone was found to lie 3.50 mm below the infraorbital rim, 7.10 mm medial to the piriform aperture, and 11.60 mm from the lateral orbital rim.
A sound knowledge of key facial landmarks is necessitated when performing midface augmentation and orbital surgery. An anatomical safe zone depicting the variation of the IOF will help reduce iatrogenic injury to the infraorbital nerve and prevent patient morbidity.
