... Abstract Nowadays, surgeons have a wide armamentarium of surgical approaches available to safely treat sinonasal malignancies, which includes open approaches, with the traditional craniofacial resection (CFR), and endoscopic transnasal techniques. The correct choice depends on the features...

... Abstract It is not uncommon for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer to present at an advanced stage of disease. Surgical treatment provides a cure for the tumour with immediate relief from obstruction to the airway and the swallowing passage. Careful planning of surgery is important to ensure...

... surgery, whereas advanced stage hypopharyngeal cancer can be treated by non-surgical protocols if the patient has no loss of functions (dysfunctional larynx) and/or cartilage invasion (T4a). Factors to determine individualized patient treatment include resectability, tumour volume, distant metastases...

... Abstract Given the infiltrative nature of gliomas, controversy has long persisted over the value of their aggressive surgical removal. Nevertheless, in recent decades, the balance of opinion in neurosurgical oncology has shifted from a more nihilistic view that led to many patients' receiving...

... Abstract Surgical simulation has the potential to play important roles in surgical training and preoperative planning. The advent of virtual reality (VR) with tactile haptic feedback has revolutionized surgical simulation, creating a novel environment for residents to learn manual skills...

... Abstract Gliomas located in eloquent cortex impose a unique surgical obstacle. The oncological benefit of aggressive resection must be balanced with preservation of functional tissue and optimization of surgical outcome. Technical advances in preoperative functional imaging, refinement...

... Abstract In cases of recurrent gliomas, the treatment options are limited and not yet standardized. Choices usually include re-operation, systemic chemotherapy, salvage re-irradiation, and supportive care, which can be used either separately or in combination. From a surgical perspective...

... there are structural deformities and osteoarticular alterations, surgery often takes on the role of limb salvage therapy. Within this scenario, we take into consideration the physiopathology and anatomical/functional conditions that support the indication for surgery. In this paper, we review the surgical techniques...

... therapy. Surgical management of ACG remains an integral part of glaucoma patient care. The distinctive anatomy of angle-closure eyes and the few objective lines of evidence to support the effectiveness of the different surgical treatment options present a challenge to glaucoma surgeons. Indications...

... glaucoma surgery is important for several reasons. First, pediatric glaucoma is primarily a surgical disease, and medications are often used only as a temporizing measure until definitive surgical treatment. Secondly, when the correct surgical technique is chosen under the right circumstances, pediatric...

... and/or removal of traction bands, peeling of ERMs, hemostasis, laser photocoagulation, and tamponade of retinal breaks with gas or silicone oil. The best management is achieved with integrated care provided by physicians with expertise in medical management of diabetes and surgical care of DR. In this chapter...

... modern surgical approaches applied to situations when medical treatment is inefficient and lasers are not applicable. Dermatome shaving is positioned as first-line treatment of allergic tattoo reactions and also indicated in a number of other tattoo reactions, supplemented with excision in selected cases...

...-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery may be considered. Additionally, in patients with massive infarctions due to middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, the use of decompressive craniectomy may lower mortality rates and improve long-term quality of life. However, the benefit of these surgical procedures...

... Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of medical and surgical options available to the patient and provider. Consensus statements and recent trends in outcomes research advocate that treatment be driven by patient-reported outcome measures...

... Abstract Surgical techniques for the acceleration of the orthodontic tooth movement have been tested for more than 100 years in clinical practice. Since original methods have been extremely invasive and have been associated with increased tooth morbidity and various other gaps, the research...

... rises. The cerebellar clot will then require evacuation, usually via posterior fossa craniectomy, rather than craniotomy. Technical advances suggest that image-guided surgery may improve the completeness of surgical evacuation and outcomes, regardless of which surgical technique is employed...
