COVID-19 Impact on Colorectal Daily Practice-How Long Will It Take to Catch Up?

Dong Hum Yoon, Sarah Koller, Philip Marjun N. Duldulao, Glenn T. Ault, Sang W. Lee, Kyle G. Cologne

Summary: The cancellation of elective colorectal surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a 48% relative decrease in hospital resource utilization, but a 132% increase in ICU resource utilization due to higher acuity. If surgery numbers return to pre-COVID levels, it may take 4.6 to 9.2 weeks to catch up on the backlog of cases, with new case wait times potentially increasing by 70%. Effective triage systems will be critical to address the significant future logistical and clinical challenges posed by the backlog.

Decipher the Glioblastoma Microenvironment: The First Milestone for New Groundbreaking Therapeutic Strategies

Giuseppe Nicolo Fanelli, Dario Grassini, Valerio Ortenzi, Francesco Pasqualetti, Nicola Montemurro, Paolo Perrini, Antonio Giuseppe Naccarato, Cristian Scatena

Summary: Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, with poor prognosis despite novel therapeutical approaches. It is a polymorphic tumor consisting of different cells and a complex microenvironment containing various cell types and immune cells, playing a crucial role in tumor progression and treatment response. An in-depth investigation of GBM's microenvironment may lead to novel therapeutic opportunities to improve patient outcomes, especially in the field of immunotherapy.

Walter Marani, Francisco Mannara, Kosumo Noda, Tomomasa Kondo, Nakao Ota, Paolo Perrini, Nicola Montemurro, Yu Kinoshita, Shoichiro Tsuji, Hiroyasu Kamiyama, Rokuya Tanikawa

Summary: Surgical clipping remains a valuable treatment option for paraclinoid aneurysms, and monitoring motor evoked potentials during the procedure can help predict and prevent postoperative motor deficits. In this case, a 61-year-old Japanese woman with a history of hypertension and smoking underwent successful aneurysm clipping with posterior clinoidectomy, leading to complete exclusion of the aneurysm with no postoperative complications.

Summary: The impact of different patterns of GBM recurrence on second surgery outcomes was investigated in a study at Pisa University Hospital. Patients with local recurrence had better overall survival (OS) compared to those with non-local recurrence, and the advantage of a second surgery was more pronounced in patients with local recurrence. The study suggests that recurrence patterns can influence the outcomes of recurrent GBM patients eligible for a second surgery.

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia due to vertebrobasilar artery compression: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Davide Tiziano Di Carlo, Nicola Benedetto, Walter Marani, Nicola Montemurro, Paolo Perrini

Summary: Trigeminal neuralgia caused by vertebrobasilar artery compression has a low occurrence rate of 3.4%, with a high success rate of pain relief post-MVD. The majority of patients were pain-free immediately after surgery, with around 93% showing good outcomes at last follow-up. However, hearing impairment and facial numbness were common long-term complications following MVD. Further studies are needed to assess long-term results and pain recurrence rates in this population.

Summary: Both conventional revision discectomy (nonfusion) and discectomy with instrumented fusion (TLIF) surgery are effective in treating patients with RLDH, with nonfusion surgery showing lower rates of postoperative back pain and neurological deficits compared to fusion surgery. However, fusion surgery resulted in better outcomes in terms of blood loss, hospital stay, and cost of the procedure. Satisfaction rates were high in both groups, with the fusion group showing slightly higher satisfaction rates.
