[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Externally validated scoring systems for facial nerve injury after vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection are lacking. We aimed to derive and externally validate a scoring system predictive of poor long-term facial…

[BACKGROUND]  Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) account for 5 to 10% of all intracranial meningiomas. They typically invade the optic canal and displace the optic nerve upward and laterally. The transcranial approach has been the standar…

[BACKGROUND] Spine surgical training faces increasing challenges due to restricted working hours and greater sub specialization. Modern simulators offer a promising approach to teaching both simple and complex spinal procedures. This study …

[BACKGROUND] The depressor anguli oris muscle (DAO) is a pivotal treatment target when creating a harmonic jawline. However, evidence of its live morphology remains scarce. [OBJECTIVES] In this study we aimed to reevaluate the DAO with a f…

Hypertrophic scars arise from aberrant wound healing and can lead to functional and aesthetic impairments. One of the common interventions for treating hypertrophic scars is fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, which employs narrow laser …

[BACKGROUND] Preoperative embolization has traditionally been regarded as a safe and effective adjunct to microsurgical treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM). However, there is currently no high-level evidence to ascertain t…

[OBJECTIVE] The use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is ubiquitous in the management of complex wounds. Extending beyond the traditional utility of NPWT, it has been used after reconstructive flap surgery in a few case series. The …

[BACKGROUND] Treatment decision-making for brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) with microsurgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is controversial. [OBJECTIVE] To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare microsurger…

[INTRODUCTION] Mirabegron is a beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist that received FDA approval in 2021 to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children ages three years and older. Despite its safety and efficacy, access to mirabegr…

[OBJECTIVE] Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are rare. Most large series in the last 15 years reported on an average of only 39 patients. The authors sought to report their institutional experience with pediatric intracranial aneurysms from…

[OBJECTIVE] To quantify the association between surgical team familiarity and operative time. [BACKGROUND] Team familiarity in the operating room may influence outcomes irrespective of individual surgeons' experience. To date, however, qua…
