Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for patients with chronic pain is commonly performed since the early 1970s with inconsistent results and within variable targets. We applied sensoric functional MRI (fMRI)- and diffusion tensor imaging (DT-MRI)-based DBS in chronic pain patients into 4 different[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: Direct stimulation of the peroneal nerve by the ActiGait implantable drop foot stimulator is a potent therapy that was described previously for stroke-related drop foot. The authors report here successful long-term application of the ActiGait implantable drop foot stimulator in patients with[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68.

Objective: MIS-HLIF was established as the standard lumbar interbody fusion in degenerative listhesis. It combines different screw trajectories (cortical bone trajectory and common pedicle screw placement) and the advantages of the PLIF and the TLIF within one surgical procedure. Due to the cortical[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC), 7.

Objective: To elucidate the optimal cervical cage or prosthesis for patients suffering from cervical degeneration, a prospective randomized study in patients after single level cervical discectomy was enrolled. It consists of one arm, in which Elastic Spine PadTM (ESP) and SqualeTM are compared concerning[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68.

Objective: To preserve integrity of facet joints, we have changed the routine of microscopic decompression. Starting at the basis of the spinous process, the bone is removed with a high speed drill and the interlaminar route can be replaced by the translaminar access. After elimination of the central[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 68. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC), 7.

Background: A direct stimulation of the peroneal nerve by ActiGait implantable drop foot stimulator is a potent therapy, which was already described for stroke related drop foot. Materials and methods: We firstly report the successful application of ActiGait implantable drop foot stimulator in 6[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 133.

Objective: The ActiGait drop foot stimulator is a promising technique for restoration of lost function by an implantable hybrid stimulation system. It allows an ankle dorsiflexion by active peroneal nerve stimulation during the swing phase of gait. Here, we report the outcome of the first prospective[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 66. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC)

Objective: Decompressive craniectomy is a widely accepted method in the treatment of refractory intracranial hypertension, although current studies do not provide consistent data. Concerning subsequent cranioplasty, there is lack of evidence based guidelines, too. The objective was to gain knowledge[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 131.

Objective: Successful deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus subthalamicus (STN) is mostly dependent on an accurate position of the leads at the optimal target point. Till now, DBS in local anesthesia (LA) with intraoperative testing and microelectrode recordings (MER) is the gold standard. Since[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 64.

Objective: We report about a 49-year-old man with a severe action triggered myoclonus caused by hypoxic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest with cardiopulmonary reanimation. Because of the therapy resistant myoclonus, combined deep brain stimulation of the VIM and GPi was performed. The patient was [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 63.
