Objective: The anterior petrosectomy, also known as Kawase’s approach and the retrosigmoid intradural suprameatal approach (RISA) have both been used to reduce the petrous apex and to access the petroclival region. Our goal was to compare the volumes and 3-dimensional shapes of bony resection [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Objective: In Meningioma, several Non-NF2 driver mutations (KLF4, TRAF7, SMO, AKT1E17K) have been shown to correlate with certain pathological subtypes, tumor locations and clinical features. Specifically, we have recently shown that the KLF4K409Q mutation may cause enhanced hypoxia signalling and correlates[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 72.

Objective: Percutaneous pedicle screw placement can be challenging in obese patients. The objective of this study was to compare complication rates, patient-reported outcomes and quality of life between obese and non-obese patients that underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 72.

Objective: Postoperative seizures represent a potential complication of surgical chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) evacuation and may occur in 1 – 23% of cases. A risk factor analysis can help to identify patients that may benefit from anti-epileptic prophylaxis. Methods: This is a retrospective,[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 71.

Objective: Hemangioblastomas are benign tumorous lesions that, although rarely, can occur in the spinal chord. As they are highly vascularized, surgical excision should take into account knowledge of the specific arterial supply and venous draining system. We applied indocyanine green videoangiography[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: Post resection external beam radiation therapy and concomitant temozolomide is the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. However, the optimal timing of such therapy is ill-defined and its impact on survival is unknown. In this study, we assessed the influence of[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 69.

Objective: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) has been shown to improve outcome in patients with malignant hemispheric stroke. Comparable results should be expected in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracranial hypertension due to ischemia or brain swelling. However conclusive data[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC), 7.

Objective: There is still no effective chemotherapy regimen for malignant meningiomas. Numerous studies on different malignancies indicate that Ran (Ras-related nuclear protein), some components of its pathway and TPX2 (Targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2) are involved in tumorigenesis,[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68.

Objective: To compare occurrence of postoperative complications and mean operating time in early (< 3 months) versus late (> 3 months) cranioplasty, in trauma patients who had undergone a decompressive craniectomy (DC).

Objective: Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH), a common condition in the elderly, present a therapeutic challenge. Despite general agreement about the indication for operation, the optimal technique and extent of surgery is still controversial. We conducted a volumetric analysis to assess the efficacy[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 67. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC), 1.

Objective: The glutathione S-transferase pi gene (GSTP1) is a polymorphic gene encoding active, functionally different GSTP1 variant proteins that are thought to function in xenobiotic metabolism and which may play a role in susceptibility to cancer, and other diseases. Our hypothesis was that there[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 64. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC)
