The migration of a prosthetic head during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare complication. Few cases are described in the literature, offering different solutions and surgical approaches for prosthetic head retrievement. Here, we present a case of successful laparoscopic transperitoneal retrieval of a prosthetic head migrated above the right iliac vein after THA with a posterolateral approach.

The objective of this study was to more fully understand the optimal neurosurgical strategy for spinal benign meningiomas from a medium to long-term perspective. This retrospective study included a cohort of 35 patients with a diagnosis of spinal meningioma who were first operated at our institute over the past 10 years and followed-up for at least 2 years after surgery. The inclusion criterion for the study was the pathological diagnosis finally verified as benign meningioma of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1....

The authors report the cases of 3 patients with tuberculous spondylodiscitis. All patients suffered from severe back or low back pain. Posterolateral endoscopic debridement and irrigation were performed followed by retention of a drainage tube at the affected sites. Additional puncture and drainage were conducted at the same time when extensive cold abscesses were identified around the paravertebral muscle. All patients experienced immediate pain relief postoperatively. This technique is effective for rapid pain relief and in obtaining neurological resolution for patients in the early stages of tuberculous spondylodiscitis and may also be a good method for preventing further vertebral collapse and kyphotic spinal deformity such as Gibbus vertebrae.
