Article Surgery

An analysis of publications originating from abstracts presented at the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Meeting

Diana S. Jodeh, Gabrielle Scariano, Crystal An, Samantha Xu, Meridith Ginesi, Daniel A. Hashimoto, Jeffrey Marks, Emily Steinhagen, Sharon L. Stein

Summary: This study aims to evaluate predictors of manuscript publication arising from abstracts presented at a national surgical scientific meeting.

Current landscape of academic neurosurgical training in the United Kingdom: analysis by the Society of British Neurological Surgeons

Keng Siang S. Lee, Conor Gillespie, Aswin Chari, Sheikh Momin, Carole D. Turner, Michael Jenkinson, Robert Brownstone

Summary: This study aims to understand the impact of academic training on neurosurgery in the UK and improve career development for academic neurosurgical trainees and consultants. The survey results showed that the highest self-reported success was achieved through obtaining an MD or other research degree/fellowship, rather than a PhD. There was a significant positive association between completing a PhD and having an academic consultant appointment. Establishing clear, modifiable, and achievable goals, as well as providing tools for research success, may contribute to the success of academic training in neurosurgery in the UK.

Trends in female first-author abstracts at the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Annual Meeting, 1990-2020

Rebecca E. Cash, Christopher L. Bennett, Krislyn M. Boggs, Margaret E. Samuels-Kalow, Monica Saxena, Melissa Pasao, Ali S. Raja, Carlos A. Camargo Jr

Summary: This study examines the gender differences in first authorship and characteristics in the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Annual Meeting abstracts and resulting manuscript publications. It found that a minority of abstracts and publications had female first authors, and abstracts with female first authors took longer to achieve manuscript publication. Moreover, a significant proportion of female first author abstracts resulted in male first author publications.

Summary: Despite advances in treatment, neuromodulation, such as deep brain stimulation, has not gained widespread adoption as a potential therapy for psychiatric diseases. In 2016, the American Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery organized a meeting to discuss the future path forward. A follow-up meeting in 2022 aimed to review the current state of the field and identify barriers and milestones for progress.

External validation and recalibration of an incidental meningioma prognostic model - IMPACT: protocol for an international multicentre retrospective cohort study

Abdurrahman I. Islim, Christopher P. Millward, Rory J. Piper, Daniel M. Fountain, Shaveta Mehta, Ruwanthi Kolamunnage-Dona, Usama Ali, Shelli Diane Koszdin, Theo Georgious, Samantha J. Mills, Andrew R. Brodbelt, Ryan K. Mathew, Thomas Santarius, Michael D. Jenkinson

Summary: Due to the increased use of CT and MRI, the prevalence of incidental findings on brain scans is increasing. Meningioma is the most common primary brain tumor and often encountered as an incidental finding. The management methods for incidental meningioma vary, and there is a lack of defined duration of monitoring and time intervals for assessment. A statistical model called IMPACT has been developed to categorize patients with incidental meningioma into risk groups and propose an active monitoring strategy based on the risk and progression trajectory. The aim of this study is to assess the external validity of this model.

Spilling, Sarah Trippier, Rebecca Williams, Jeremy D. Isaacs, Thomas R. Barrick, Atticus H. Hainsworth

Summary: Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a common condition in older individuals and is associated with various brain vascular problems. This study used pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) in older adults with SVD and found high test-retest reliability. The study also found that CBF decreases with increasing age and diastolic blood pressure.

Summary: This study examined the differences in case characteristics, treatment, and mortality of patients receiving emergency neurosurgery for traumatic brain injury (TBI) across different levels of human development. The study found that the level of human development was associated with mortality, and there was significant variation in mortality between hospitals. Opportunities to improve care globally were identified, including reducing delays to surgery.

Summary: This article presents a case of primary spinal leiomyosarcoma (PSL) and provides a systematic review on its presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes. The review identifies that PSL mainly affects females, with back pain being the most common symptom. Diagnosis is primarily made using magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, and surgical management is key with generally good outcomes.

Resection of a Midbrain Arteriovenous Malformation-A Combined Microsurgical and Endovascular Strategy: 3-Dimensional Operative Video

Kevin Agyemang, Samantha Lorena Paganelli, Jeanine de Oliveira Silva, Dimitriy Korotkov, Adam Bryce, Juan Carlos Ahumada Vizcaino, Jose Mayo Elo Mikue, Guilherme Salemi Riechelmann, Rony Gomes Rodriguez, Manuel Moreno Hernandez, Jose Maria de Campos Filho, Hugo Leonardo Doria-Netto, Raphael Wuo-Silva, Feres Chaddad-Neto

Summary: Brainstem AVMs, comprising 2% to 7% of all brain AVMs, have a worse prognosis due to a higher proportion of hemorrhage. Surgery, despite its associated poor outcomes, is favored by some due to concerns over latency and potential risks of other treatment options. This case demonstrates that in experienced hands, complete resection of brainstem AVMs can be achieved with a combination of selective embolization, neurophysiological monitoring, and microsurgical techniques.

The Technique of Limited Quadrangular Lobe Removal to Safely Resect a Quadrigeminal Plate Arteriovenous Malformation: 2-Dimensional Operative Video

Summary: Arteriovenous malformations in the brainstem are challenging to manage, accounting for 7% to 15% of all brain arteriovenous malformations. The high risk of hemorrhage and vulnerability to radiation effects limit their management to experienced centers. Surgery is often preferred due to the delayed effects of radiosurgery and poor results from embolization. A good understanding of the anatomy and blood supply is necessary for safe management.

Two cases of SMA syndrome after neurosurgical injury to the frontal aslant tract

Summary: Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is a temporary disturbance in voluntary movement and speech production that occurs after injury to the medial premotor area. We describe two cases of SMA syndrome following surgical injury to the frontal aslant tract (FAT) with intact SMA. The clinical presentation and fMRI activation patterns during recovery were consistent with SMA syndrome, supporting the theory that FAT is a critical bundle in SMA complex function.

Carbon fibre instrumentation for scoliosis surgery in children with spinal cord intramedullary tumours: a novel technical note

Anan Shtaya, Salima Wahab, Ryan Waters, Aabir Chakraborty, Stephen McGillion, Christopher Dare

Summary: This article describes a surgical technique for correcting scoliosis in two adolescents with intradural tumors using carbon fiber implants. The authors utilized a hybrid approach by initially manipulating the deformity with titanium implants and then replacing the construct with carbon fiber implants to maintain the deformity correction with good follow-up outlook. This technique enabled appropriate post-operative MRI evaluation of the neural structures with a reduced risk of metal artifacts.

Acute foot drop secondary to lumbar disc prolapse after seizure

Mohamed Abdalla, Abteen Mostofi, Anan Shtaya, Francis G. Johnston

Summary: We report a case of lumbar disc prolapse resulting in neurological deficits following a generalized seizure. This is a rare but important treatable complication of seizures. Detailed history and clinical examination should be conducted in patients with post-ictal neurological deficit to identify the specific cause, and appropriate imaging should be performed if there remains any doubt regarding the diagnosis.
