Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the knowledge, attitude, practice and illness perception toward prevention and management of subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) among intracranial aneurysm (IA) patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2023 and June 2023; demographic characteristics and KAP scores were collected by a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed by linear regression and path analysis. RESULTS A total of 455 patients with IA were included, of them 26.37% experienced SAH before. Mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 16.60 ± 5.86, 16.39 ± 1.84, and 35.07 ± 3.51, respectively. The linear regression showed ethnic minority, married, education, family members in healthcare system, monthly per capita household income, experience ruptured intracranial aneurysms, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and aortic lesion were associated with knowledge scores. Age, ethnic minority, urban residence, education, family members in healthcare system, monthly per capita household income, duration of IA ≥6 months, experience ruptured intracranial aneurysms, smoking, diabetes, and aortic lesion were associated with attitude scores. Age, urban residence, monthly per capita household income, duration of IA ≥6 months, experience of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, smoking, diabetes, and aortic lesion were associated with practice scores. According to the path analysis, knowledge directly affected illness perception (β=0.156, P<0.001) and attitude (β=0.708, P<0.001), while attitude (β=0.909, P<0.001) and illness perception (β=0.039, P=0.027) affected practice. CONCLUSIONS Patients had positive attitudes towards SAH prevention and management, but a substantial knowledge gap was found along with notably delayed medical help-seeking behavior.

Vertical Hemispherotomy: Contribution of Advanced Three-Dimensional Modeling for Presurgical Planning and Training. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113779.

Abstract
Vertical hemispherotomy is an effective treatment for many drug-resistant encephalopathies with unilateral involvement. One of the main factors influencing positive surgical results and long-term seizure freedom is the quality of disconnection. For this reason, perfect anatomical awareness is mandatory during each step of the procedure. Although previous groups attempted to reproduce the surgical anatomy through schematic representations, cadaveric dissections, and intraoperative photographs and videos, a comprehensive understanding of the approach may still be difficult, especially for less experienced neurosurgeons. In this work, we reported the application of advanced technology for three-dimensional (3D) modeling and visualization of the main neurova-scular structures during vertical hemispherotomy procedures. In the first part of the study, we built a detailed 3D model of the main structures and landmarks involved during each disconnection phase. In the second part, we discussed the adjunctive value of augmented reality systems for the management of the most challenging etiologies, such as hemimegalencephaly and post-ischemic encephalopathy. We demonstrated the contribution of advanced 3D modeling and visualization to enhance the quality of anatomical representation and interaction between the operator and model according to a surgical perspective, optimizing the quality of presurgical planning, intraoperative orientation, and educational training.

Personalized surgical informed consent with stereoscopic visualization in neurosurgery-real benefit for the patient or unnecessary gimmick? Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2023; 165:1087-1098. [PMID: 36853569 PMCID: PMC10068664 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-023-05512-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Informed consent of the patient prior to surgical procedures is obligatory. A good and informative communication improves patients' understanding and confidence, thus may strengthen the patient-doctor relationship. The aim of our study was to investigate the usefulness of additional stereoscopic visualization of patient-specific imaging during informed consent conversation. METHODS Patients scheduled for a brain tumor surgery were screened for this study prospectively. The primary exclusion criteria were cognitive or visual impairments. The participants were randomized into two groups. The first group underwent a conventional surgical informed consent performed by a neurosurgeon including a demonstration of the individual MRI on a 2D computer screen. The second group received an additional stereoscopic visualization of the same imaging to explain the pathology more in-depth. The patients were then asked to fill in a questionnaire after each part. This questionnaire was designed to assess the potential information gained from the patients with details on the anatomical location of the tumor as well as the surgical procedure and possible complications. Patients' subjective impression about the informed consent was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS A total of 27 patients were included in this study. After additional stereoscopic visualization, no significant increase in patient understanding was found for either objective criteria or subjective assessment. Participants' anxiety was not increased by stereoscopic visualization. Overall, patients perceived stereoscopic imaging as helpful from a subjective perspective. Confidence in the department was high in both groups. CONCLUSION Stereoscopic visualization of MRI images within informed consent conversation did not improve the objective understanding of the patients in our series. Although no objective anatomical knowledge gain was noted in this series, patients felt that the addition of stereoscopic visualization improved their overall understanding. It therefore potentially increases patient confidence in treatment decisions.

Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), previously considered fairly benign and easy to treat, is now viewed a possible sign of incipient clinical decline. We investigated case-fatality, excess fatality and need for reoperations following operated cSDH in a nationwide setting focusing on patient-related characteristics. Finnish nationwide databases were searched for all admissions with operated cSDH as well as later deaths in adults (≥ 16 years) during 2004–2017. There were 8539 patients with an evacuated cSDH (68% men) with a mean age of 73.0 (± 12.8) years. During the follow-up, 3805 (45%) patients died. In-hospital case-fatality was 0.7% (n = 60) and 30-day case-fatality 4.2% (n = 358). The 1-year case-fatality was 14.3% (95% CI = 13.4–15.2%) among men and 15.3% (95% CI = 14.0–16.7%) among women. Comorbidity burden, older age, and alcoholism were significantly associated with fatality. One-year excess fatality rate compared to general Finnish population was 9.1% (95% CI = 8.4–9.9) among men and 10.3% (95% CI = 9.1–11.4) among women. Highest excess fatality was observed in the oldest age group in both genders. Reoperation was needed in 19.4% (n = 1588) of patients. Older age but not comorbidity burden or other patient-related characteristics were associated with increased risk for reoperation. The overall case-fatality and need for reoperations declined during the study era. Comorbidities should be considered when care and follow-up are planned in patients with cSDH. Our findings underpin the perception that the disease is more dangerous than previously thought and causes mortality in all exposed age groups: even a minor burden of comorbidities can be fatal in the post-operative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in neurosurgery has become more prominent in recent years for surgical training, preoperative planning and patient-education. Several smaller studies are available using 3D printing however there is a lack of a concise review. This article provides a systematic review of current 3D models in use by neurosurgical residents with emphasis on training, learning, and simulation. METHODS A structured literature search of PubMed and Embase was conducted using PRISMA guidelines to identify publications specific to 3D models trialed on neurosurgical residents. Criteria for eligibility included articles discussing only neurosurgery, 3D models in neurosurgery, and models specifically tested or trialed on residents. RESULTS Overall a total of 40 articles were identified that met inclusion criteria. These studies encompassed different neurosurgical areas including aneurysm, spine, craniosynostosis, transsphenoidal, craniotomy, skull base, and tumor. The majority of the articles were related to brain surgery. Of these studies, vascular surgery had the highest overall with 13 out of 40 articles which include aneurysm clipping and other neurovascular surgeries. Twenty-two discussed cranial plus tumor surgeries which included skull base, craniotomy, craniosynostosis and transsphenoidal. Lastly, 5 studies were specific to spine surgeries. Subjective outcome measures of neurosurgical residents were most commonly implemented, of which results were almost unanimously positive. CONCLUSION 3D printing technology is rapidly expanding in healthcare and neurosurgery in particular. The technology is quickly improving, and several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of 3D printing for neurosurgical residency education and training.
