Abstract
Despite rapid advances in the development of materials and techniques for endovascular intracranial aneurysm treatment, occlusion of large broad-neck aneurysms remains a challenge. Animal models featuring complex aneurysm architecture are needed to test endovascular innovations and train intervention...

Abstract
Approximately 4 to 34 percent of infants born with neonatal brachial plexus palsy do not recover spontaneously and require surgery. Despite the increasing availability of microsurgical nerve repair, the authors hypothesize that this condition remains undertreated and that uninsured children and chil...

In spite of the Gent consensus on perforator flap terminology, widespread confusion still exists regarding the true description of these flaps, making it hard to understand these surgical procedures in comparison with conventional flap techniques. The value of perforator flaps can be better understo...

Abstract
Second toe-to-thumb transfer is a good alternative to using the great toe for reconstruction of the thumb. It achieves excellent function and reduces morbidity to the donor foot. However, cosmesis is often poor. The second toe has three unattractive features, a narrow "neck," a bulbous tip, and a sh...

Abstract
Bionic limbs require sensitive, durable, and physiologically relevant bidirectional control interfaces. Modern central nervous system interfacing is high risk, low fidelity, and failure prone. Peripheral nervous system interfaces will mitigate this risk and increase fidelity by greatly simplifying s...

Breast cancer-related upper extremity lymphedema is an unsolved iatrogenic complication with a reported incidence ranging from 9 to 41 percent. The increase in volume and recurrent cellulitis of the affected limb cause both physical and mental distress to many breast cancer survivors. However, postm...

Abstract
Traumatic hand amputations along a longitudinal axis are possible but, to the authors' knowledge, have not been described in the literature. To bridge the gap and repair the transected superficial palmar arch at its apex, a common digital artery can be sacrificed and turned toward the plane of the a...

Abstract
Large resections of oropharyngeal tumors in the absence of a mandibulotomy create a reconstructive challenge, because flaps are often necessary, and inset requires contouring and suturing in a confined space with limited line of sight. Transoral robotically assisted reconstruction is the logical sol...

Journal of Neurosurgery (113 Suppl) 2010
Abstract
Although radiosurgery has been well accepted as a treatment for small- to medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VSs), its application in the treatment of large VSs remains controversial because of unfavorable effects such as tumor swelling and potential compression of the brainstem. The authors prese...

Our prediction was that, if genetic problems are excluded, SCO may be the final stage of longstanding hypoxia which deteriorates sperm production in a progressive process over time. This would indicate that SCO is not always an independent disease entity, but may represent deterioration of the testi...

Abstract
In our opinion, the free fibula osteocutaneous flap is the most versatile and reliable option for microsurgical reconstruction of large mandibular defects. It provides a large quantity of bone, which is easily shaped to passively adapt to the remaining mandible. The bone height is suitable for an im...

Abstract
Extrusion of an implant after medialization laryngoplasty is unusual and warrants removal. Most commonly, it extrudes through the laryngeal introitus, but rarely, it extrudes through the pyriform sinus. A case report in which 2.5 feet (76 cm) of polytetrafluoroethylene (Gore-Tex) was removed from an...

Many patients with recurrent glottic carcinoma after primary radiotherapy can be cured by single or repeated TLM as an organ-preserving procedure. However, in case of failure after TLM for the first recurrence, salvage laryngectomy should be considered early as local control by further laser surgery...
