Journal ArticleDOI
Image-Guided Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery
TL;DR: These systems' value in improving surgical accuracy and clinical outcomes must be weighed against concerns over cost and workflow, and further research is necessary to better elucidate situations where these systems may be particularly beneficial in spine surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Awake versus Asleep Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: Technical Considerations and Critical Review of the Literature.
Ryan B. Kochanski,Sepehr Sani +1 more
TL;DR: Asleep DBS, utilizing imaging in the form of intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI), has demonstrated reliable targeting accuracy of DBS leads implanted within the globus pallidus and subthalamic nucleus while also improving clinical outcomes in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Utility of Vancomycin Powder in Reducing Surgical Site Infections in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery.
TL;DR: Given its relatively low cost and side effect profile, the use of vancomycin powder may be an effective adjunct in reducing the rate of SSI in DBS surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of Microelectrode Recording in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery Using Intraoperative Computed Tomography.
TL;DR: iCTE improves microelectrode accuracy and increases the first-pass recorded length of STN, while reducing operative time, according to patients undergoing STN DBS using iCTE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microelectrode accuracy in deep brain stimulation surgery.
TL;DR: The accuracy of microelectrode tip placement in comparison to preoperatively planned radiographic target is reported and MER is an accurate electrophysiological representation of the planned target.
