A novel UHMWPE anchor for improving the pullout resistance of pedicle screws
IntroductionThe ability to maintain bone purchase and resist pullout is considered a basic requirement for pedicle screws. However, poor bone density or oversized pilot holes can increase the risk of screw loosening and pullout. Our team developed a novel UHMWPE anchor that attaches to the proximal…

Hemorrhage glioblastoma mimicks a dural-based meningioma
The so-called “dural tail sign” (DTS) is a thickening of the dura that is most often seen adjacent to a meningioma. Although the DTS is highly specific for meningioma, it has been observed in numerous other intracranial lesions. The origin of the DTS is an issue of debate. Some authors have…

Intracranial pressure monitoring alone: Not an absolutely reliable tool after decompressive craniectomy for traumatic acute subdural hematoma
Introduction: The monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important for postoperative care. In our clinical practice, we have found that neurological deterioration because of contralateral epidural hematoma (EDH) occurs despite normal ICP in patients who have…

The distribution of subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage on computed tomography suggests the location of an idiosyncratic vascular lesion
The incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) varies. In general, the anterior communicating artery and posterior circulation aneurysms cause such IVHs. A 48-year-old man visited the Neurosurgical Department for the evaluation of a…

Comparison of surgical resection and transarterial chemoembolization for patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma
Objective: Current guidelines recommend transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the standard treatment for patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, choosing the optimal treatments for patients with intermediate stage HCC still remains challenging for clinicians…

Safety and feasibility of transitioning from conventional burr-hole craniostomy to endoscope-assisted evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma: A retrospective cohort study
Objective Although endoscope-assisted evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) may reduce recurrence rates, its adoption has been limited by a procedural learning curve that may affect operative efficiency and clinical outcomes. This study compared conventional burr-hole craniostomy with…
