Geniculate neuralgia (GN) is an uncommon, but severe, condition that is characterized by excruciating paroxysmal pain in the seventh cranial nerve's cutaneous distribution of general somatic afferent fibers carried through the nervus intermedius (NI). GN becomes a surgical disease in refractory cases of pain after exhaustive medical management. Surgical intervention in the form of microvascular decompression...
Introduction
Since the introduction of wearable head‐up displays, there has been much interest in the surgical community adapting this technology into routine surgical practice.
Methods
We used the keywords augmented reality OR wearable device OR head‐up display AND surgery using PubMed, EBSCO, IEEE and SCOPUS databases. After exclusions, 74 published articles that evaluated the utility of wearable...
Background
Wearable technology is growing in popularity as a result of its ability to interface with normal human movement and function.
Methods
Using proprietary hardware and software, neuronavigation images were captured and transferred wirelessly via a password‐encrypted network to the head‐up display. The operating surgeon wore a loupe‐mounted wearable head‐up display during image‐guided parieto‐occipital...
Objective
Evaluate the seizure‐reduction response and safety of brain‐responsive stimulation in adults with medically intractable partial‐onset seizures of neocortical origin.
Methods
Patients with partial seizures of neocortical origin were identified from prospective clinical trials of a brain‐responsive neurostimulator (RNS System, NeuroPace). The seizure reduction over years 2–6 postimplantation...
Objective
Evaluate the seizure‐reduction response and safety of mesial temporal lobe (MTL) brain‐responsive stimulation in adults with medically intractable partial‐onset seizures of mesial temporal lobe origin.
Methods
Subjects with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) were identified from prospective clinical trials of a brain‐responsive neurostimulator (RNS System, NeuroPace). The seizure reduction...
Objective
Patients with suspected mesial temporal lobe (MTL) epilepsy typically undergo inpatient video–electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring with scalp and/or intracranial electrodes for 1 to 2 weeks to localize and lateralize the seizure focus or foci. Chronic ambulatory electrocorticography (ECoG) in patients with MTL epilepsy may provide additional information about seizure lateralization....
ObjectiveTo demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of responsive stimulation at the seizure focus as an adjunctive therapy to reduce the frequency of seizures in adults with medically intractable partial onset seizures arising from one or two seizure foci.
MethodsRandomized multicenter double‐blinded controlled trial of responsive focal cortical stimulation (RNS System). Subjects with medically...
Background.Our aim was to investigate the clinical and manofluorographic findings of patients with anterior cervical osteophyte (ACO) dysphagia before and after surgery.
Methods.Chart review including manofluorography (MFG) data of patients undergoing ACO removal was undertaken.
Results.Thirteen patients underwent transcervical ACO removal over a 10‐year period. A postoperative hematoma was the...
