Background and objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established neurosurgical treatment of a variety of neurological disorders. DBS is considered a safe and effective neurosurgical procedure; however, surgical complications are inevitable, and clinical outcomes may vary. The aim of this study was to describe DBS complications at a large clinical center in the United States and to investigate the relationship between patients' baseline characteristics, surgical technique, and operative complications.
Methods: We identified all patients who underwent DBS lead implantation at our center between 1st January 2012 and 1st January 2020. We extracted relevant information regarding patient demographics, surgical details, clinical complications, and clinical outcomes from the electronic medical records.
Results: A total of 859 leads were implanted in 481 patients (153 men, 328 women). The mean patient age at the time of the surgery was 65 years, with the mean disease duration of 13.3 years. There were no mortalities and 57 readmissions within 30 days (mean = 14.2 days). The most common complications included pneumocephalus (n = 661), edema (n = 78), altered mental state (n = 35), implantable pulse generator discomfort (n = 34), hemorrhage (n = 26), and infection (n = 23). Most notably, the use of general anesthesia, hypertension, heart disease, and depression were associated with significantly longer postoperative stay. High preoperative body mass index was associated with higher rates of surgery-related infections and lead revision/explantation. The intraoperative mean arterial pressure, anesthesia type, and frame apparatus were all important predictors of postoperative pneumocephalus.
Conclusion: In this report, we described the rates and types of complications associated with DBS surgery at a large neurosurgical center in the United States. The novel insights highlighted in this study present an opportunity to further improve the clinical outcomes and patient selection in DBS surgery.

Background and objectives: One of the major challenges in training neurosurgical and orthopedic residents the technique for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) is the lack of visualization of surgical landmarks (pedicle, pars, lamina). This is due to the limited access to the bony spine through a tubular retractor, in addition to a smaller working corridor or patient-specific factors such as bony overgrowth, disk space collapse, and listhesis. These factors increase the possibility for surgical error and prolonged surgery time. With augmented reality (AR), relevant surgical anatomy can be projected directly into the user's field of view through the microscope. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility, accuracy, efficiency, and precision of AR-guided MIS-TLIF and to determine its impact in spine surgery training.
Methods: At 2 centers, 12 neurosurgical residents performed a one-level MIS-TLIF on a high-fidelity lumbar spine simulation model with and without AR projection into the microscope. For the MIS-TLIF procedures with AR, surgical landmarks were highlighted in different colors on preoperative image data. These landmarks were visualized in the spinal navigation application on the navigation monitor and in the microscope to confirm the relevant anatomy. Postprocedural surveys (National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index) were given to the residents.
Results: Twelve residents were included in this trial. AR-guided procedures had a consistent impact on resident anatomical orientation and workload experience. Procedures performed without AR had a significantly higher mental demand (P = .003) than with AR. Residents reported to a significantly higher rate that it was harder work for them to accomplish their level of performance without AR (P = .019).
Conclusion: AR can bring a meaningful value in MIS teaching and training to confirm relevant anatomy in situations where the surgeon will have less direct visual access. AR used in surgical simulation can also speed the learning curve.
背景和目的:对神经外科和骨科住院医师进行微创经椎间孔腰椎椎体间融合术(MIS-TLIF)技术培训的主要挑战之一是缺乏手术标志(椎弓根、椎旁、椎板)的可视化。这是由于通过管状牵引器进入骨性脊柱的途径有限,此外还有较小的工作走廊或患者特异性因素,如骨性过度生长、椎间盘间隙塌陷和椎间盘突出。这些因素增加了手术失误和手术时间延长的可能性。利用增强现实技术(AR),相关的手术解剖图可以通过显微镜直接投射到用户的视野中。本研究旨在评估AR引导下MIS-TLIF的实用性、准确性、效率和精确性,并确定其对脊柱手术培训的影响:在 2 个中心,12 名神经外科住院医师在高保真腰椎仿真模型上进行了单层 MIS-TLIF,在显微镜下进行了 AR 投射,在未进行 AR 投射的情况下进行了单层 MIS-TLIF。在使用 AR 的 MIS-TLIF 手术中,术前图像数据会以不同颜色突出显示手术地标。在导航显示器上的脊柱导航应用程序和显微镜中可视化这些地标,以确认相关解剖结构。对住院医师进行术后调查(美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数):结果:12 名住院医师参加了此次试验。AR引导的手术对住院医师的解剖定向和工作量体验具有一致的影响。与使用 AR 的手术相比,不使用 AR 的手术对精神的要求明显更高(P = .003)。住院医师报告说,在没有AR引导的情况下,他们要完成自己的水平要付出更多的努力(P = .019):结论:AR 在 MIS 教学和培训中具有重要价值,可在外科医生无法直接观察的情况下确认相关解剖结构。在手术模拟中使用 AR 还能加快学习曲线。

Background and objectives: The impact of prior local therapies, including radiation and surgery, on reconstruction outcomes after endonasal surgery is currently not well known. Reconstruction nuances in the preoperative setting merit further evaluation to avoid potential postoperative complications that can hinder overall tumor management and negatively impact patient outcome. We sought to determine whether prior treatments increase risk of reconstruction-related postoperative morbidity and to evaluate the effectiveness of our current treatment paradigm for skull base reconstruction.
Methods: A retrospective review of all endonasal surgeries for tumor resection between March 2000 and March 2022 was performed. Patients were grouped based on treatment history. Patient demographics, operative, and postoperative reconstruction-related morbidity data were collected, including cerebrospinal fluid leak, sinonasal morbidity, and infectious complications. Variables significantly associated with postoperative complications in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. Complication-free survival curves were generated, and the log-rank test evaluated the relationship between complication-free survival and the different clinical, surgical, and treatment parameters. All statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 26 (IBM Corp) and Graph Pad 9.0 (GraphPad Software).
Results: A total of 418 patients were included. 291 patients had no prior treatments, 49 patients had previously received radiation, and 78 patients had prior surgeries. Of the 49 patients who had prior radiation, 27% underwent reconstruction with tunneled pericranial flaps vs 16% of treatment-naïve patients. On multivariate analysis, prior treatment was not significantly associated with reconstruction-related complications. Negative smoking history, no leak or small intraoperative leak, and use of vascularized flap in reconstruction were protective factors.
Conclusion: In patients undergoing endonasal surgery, prior radiation and/or surgery does not appear to significantly increase the risk of immediate or delayed reconstruction complications using our current reconstructive management plan, which incorporates an upfront regional flap for high-risk cases.

Background and objectives: Flow diversion (FD) of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is an increasingly used and efficacious treatment modality. Transcirculation approaches, or approaches that cross the contralateral or anteroposterior arterial supply before reaching a target vessel, have been used to treat cerebrovascular pathologies when traditional approaches are unsuitable or require intraoperative complication management. This study sought to review IAs treated with FD using a transcirculation approach to determine the technique's safety and efficacy.
Methods: A systematic review of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases was completed per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies were included if they described transcirculation approaches in adult patients with IAs undergoing FD. Outcomes of interest included intraoperative complications and aneurysm occlusion rates.
Results: Twelve studies with 19 patients (N = 19, mean age = 54.1 y, 89.5% female) were identified. Wide-necked (N = 5, 26.3%) and saccular (N = 5, 26.3%) aneurysms were most represented, while 57.9% (N = 11) of aneurysms were unruptured and 15.8% (N = 3) of aneurysms were ruptured. The mean aneurysm sac and neck size were 16.9 mm and 11.9 mm, respectively. The most commonly deployed flow diverter was the Pipeline Embolization Device (N = 14, 73.9%). Successful FD (complete occlusion and/or good wall apposition) was recorded in 84.6% of qualifying patients with follow-up data, while 2 patients (15.4%) developed an intraoperative carotid-cavernous fistula.
Conclusion: Transcirculation approaches to FD offer neurointerventionalists a safe and efficacious method for device deployment, rescue scenarios, and challenging anatomy. Prospective studies may determine the most appropriate indications for transcirculation approaches to FD, while novel, lower profile devices may improve its technical feasibility and safety.

Background and objectives: Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) has been demonstrated to improve the extent of resection of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors resected using endoscopic endonasal approaches. We sought to establish if preoperative clinicoradiological parameters could be used to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from iMRI and thus allow more efficient use of this technology.
Methods: A prospectively maintained surgical database of all endoscopic pituitary tumor resections with iMRI guidance performed between May 2017 and September 2023 was accessed. Data were collected on clinical and radiological parameters that may predict reintervention after iMRI. Logistic regression models were constructed to assess the relationship between predictor variables and reintervention after iMRI.
Results: Seventy-three patients were included in the study. After review of the iMRI, 24/73 (33%) patients underwent surgical reintervention. The combined rate of gross total resection/near total resection was 64/73 (88%). The rate of biochemical cure of endocrine disease after surgery for a hormonally active tumor was 15/21 (71%). On univariate logistic regression analysis, the only factor significantly associated with reintervention after iMRI was the suprasellar anterior-posterior diameter (odds ratio 1.1, 95% CI 1.01-1.2, P = .030).
Conclusion: Suprasellar anterior-posterior diameter ≥15 mm predicts the requirement for reintervention after endoscopic resection of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. Use of this easily obtained radiological parameter will allow iMRI to be used in those patients who are most likely to benefit.

Background and objectives: Robotic arm surgical systems provide minimally invasive access and are commonly used in multiple surgical fields, with limited application in neurosurgery. Our institutional experience has led us to explore the benefits of a neurosurgeon trained to perform robotic surgery as part of a multidisciplinary team. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of robotic resection for spinal nerve sheath tumors (NST).
Methods: Retrospective case series of robotic-assisted intracavitary approaches and resection of NSTs including thoracic, retroperitoneal, and transperitoneal. Surgical outcomes are compared to a historical cohort of open surgical resection of NSTs.
Results: Nineteen cases presented, of which 2 were combined posterior spinal followed by robotic tumor resection. One of 19 cases was converted to an open surgery. Gross total resection was achieved in all cases. There were 2 cases of postoperative Horner's syndrome, and 1 case with an intraoperative durotomy that was repaired primarily with no postoperative sequelae. Median estimated blood loss was 50 cc (range: 5-650) and median length of stay was 1 day (range: 0-6), with 9 (47.4%) patients discharged on postoperative day 1 and 3 (15.8%) patients discharged on an outpatient basis. Compared with our previously reported institutional outcomes for open resection of 25 tumors, there was a significant increase in rates of gross total resection (100 vs 60%, P = .002) and decrease in length of stay (median 1 vs 5 days, P < .0001).
Conclusion: Robotic resection of complex paraspinal tumors appears safe and effective including for preservation of neurological function and may reduce surgical morbidity. Integration of robotic surgical platforms holds the potential to significantly affect neurological surgery.
