Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature concerning the management of antiplatelet (AP) and anticoagulation (AC) medication in the perioperative phase of craniotomy remains scarce. The aim of this international survey was to investigate the current practice among neurosurgeons regarding their perioperative management of AP and AC medication. METHODS We distributed an online survey to neurosurgeons worldwide with questions concerning their perioperative practice with AP and AC medication in patients undergoing craniotomy. Descriptive statistics were performed. RESULTS A total of 130 replies were registered. The majority of responders practice neurosurgery in Europe (79%) or high-income countries (79%). Responders reported in 58.9 and 48.8% to have institutional guidelines for the perioperative management of AP and AC medication. Preoperative interruption time was reported heterogeneously for the different types of AP and AC medication with 40.4% of responders interrupting aspirin (ASA) for 4 to 6 days and 45.7% interrupting clopidogrel for 6 to 8 days. Around half of the responders considered ASA safe to be continued or resumed within 3 days for bypass (55%) or vascular (49%) surgery, but only few for skull base or other tumor craniotomies in general (14 and 26%, respectively). Three quarters of the responders (74%) did not consider AC safe to be continued or resumed early (within 3 days) for any kind of craniotomy. ASA was considered to have the lowest risk of bleeding. Nearly all responders (93%) agreed that more evidence is needed concerning AP and AC management in neurosurgery. CONCLUSION Worldwide, the perioperative management of AP and AC medication is very heterogeneous among neurosurgeons.

Abstract
MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) lesioning is an innovative, safe and effective treatment which provides an innovative development in the field of minimally invasive stereotactic neurosurgery. Based on the application of focused ultrasound energy under full MR planning and thermal imaging control, unilateral lesioning of the thalamus, subthalamic nucleus, and globus pallidus is indicated for the treatment of movement disorders, including essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia. We started to apply this technique in February 2019 for the treatment of patients with movement disorders. The authors developed a diagnostic therapeutic care pathway, which is herewith proposed and applied as an explication of standard clinical practice in use. The project was the result of the application of different methods such as Health Technology Assessment (HTA), Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis (SWOT) and Demin -Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle. The aim of this project was to standardize the MRgFUS diagnostic-therapeutic pathway (DTP), describe its application and the appropriateness of different phases (patient selection, intervention phase and follow-up). Here, we described in detail our experience in the DTP application from 2019 up to now in 610 patients with movement disorders.

Abstract
Bleeding and thromboembolic (TE) complications in neurosurgical diseases have a detrimental impact on clinical outcomes. The aim of this study is to provide a scoping review of the available literature and address challenges and knowledge gaps in the management of coagulation disorders in neurosurgical diseases. Additionally, we introduce a novel research project that seeks to reduce coagulation disorder-associated complications in neurosurgical patients. The risk of bleeding after elective craniotomy is about 3%, and higher (14-33%) in other indications, such as trauma and intracranial hemorrhage. In spinal surgery, the incidence of postoperative clinically relevant bleeding is approximately 0.5-1.4%. The risk for TE complications in intracranial pathologies ranges from 3 to 20%, whereas in spinal surgery it is around 7%. These findings highlight a relevant problem in neurosurgical diseases and current guidelines do not adequately address individual circumstances. The multidisciplinary COagulation MAnagement in Neurosurgical Diseases (COMAND) project has been developed to tackle this challenge by devising an individualized coagulation management strategy for patients with neurosurgical diseases. Importantly, this project is designed to ensure that these management strategies can be readily implemented into healthcare practices of different types and with sustainable integration.

Preoperative evaluation of coagulation status in neuromodulation patients. J Neurosurg 2022; 137:192-198.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of hemorrhage in patients who undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is between 0.5% and 2.5%. Coagulation status is one of the factors that can predispose patients to the development of these complications. As a routine part of preoperative assessment, the authors obtain prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and platelet count. However, insurers often cover only PT/PTT laboratory tests if the patient is receiving warfarin/heparin. The authors aimed to examine their experience with abnormal coagulation parameters in patients who underwent neuromodulation. METHODS Patients who underwent neuromodulation (SCS, DBS, or intrathecal pump implantation) over a 9-year period and had preoperative laboratory values available were included. The authors determined abnormal values on the basis of a clinical protocol utilized at their practice, which combined the normal ranges of the laboratory tests and clinical relevance. This protocol had cutoff values of 12 seconds and 39 seconds for PT and PTT, respectively, and < 120,000 platelets/μl. The authors identified risk factors for these abnormalities and described interventions. RESULTS Of the 1767 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 136 had abnormal preoperative laboratory values. Five of these 136 patients had values that were misclassified as abnormal because they were within the normal ranges at the outside facility where they were tested. Fifty-one patients had laboratory values outside the ranges of our protocol, but the surgeons reviewed and approved these patients without further intervention. Of the remaining 80 patients, 8 had known coagulopathies and 24 were receiving warfarin/heparin. The remaining 48 patients were receiving other anticoagulant/antiplatelet medications. These included apixaban/rivaroxaban/dabigatran anticoagulants (n = 22; mean ± SD PT 13.7 ± 2.5 seconds) and aspirin/clopidogrel/other antiplatelet medications (n = 26; mean ± SD PT 14.4 ± 5.8 seconds). Eight new coagulopathies were identified and further investigated with hematological analysis. CONCLUSIONS New anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications are not monitored with PT/PTT, but they affect coagulation status and laboratory values. Although platelet function tests aid in a subset of medications, it is more difficult to assess the coagulation status of patients receiving novel anticoagulants. PT/PTT may provide value preoperatively.

Abstract
Congenital coagulation disorders account about 1-2% and can pose a serious risk for neurosurgical patients. Indeed, coagulation management in these patients is essential to ensure normal hemostasis. Analysis of available literature devoted to this issue and case series of neurosurgical patients with congenital coagulation disorders. Literature data were obtained from the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and Google Scholar databases for the period from 2019 to 2020. Over 200 reports devoted to our scientific issue were selected. We determined the key features of perioperative management of neurosurgical patients with congenital coagulation disorders. We have also analyzed 10 similar patients for the period from 2008 to 2020. Comprehensive analysis of anamnesis, adequate diagnosis, perioperative planning and multidisciplinary approach are essential for successful elective surgery in patients with congenital coagulation disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common among the elderly, often treated with antiplatelet (AP) or anticoagulation (AC) therapy, creating new challenges in neurosurgery. In contrast to elective craniotomy, in which AP/AC therapy is mostly discontinued, in TBI usually no delay in treatment can be afforded. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of AP/AC therapy on postoperative bleeding after craniotomy/craniectomy in TBI. METHODS Postoperative bleeding rates in patients treated with AP/AC therapy (blood thinner group) and in those without AP/AC therapy (control group) were retrospectively compared. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for postoperative bleeding. Lastly, a proportional Cox regression analysis comparing postoperative bleeding events within 14 days in both groups was performed. RESULTS Of 143 consecutive patients undergoing craniotomy/craniectomy for TBI between 2012 and 2017, 47 (32.9%) were under AP/AC treatment. No significant difference for bleeding events was observed in univariate (40.4% blood thinner group vs 36.5% control group; p = 0.71) or Cox proportional regression analysis (log rank χ2 = 0.29, p = 0.59). Patients with postoperative bleeding showed a significantly higher mortality rate (p = 0.035). In the univariate analysis, hemispheric lesion, acute subdural hematoma, hematological disease, greater extent of midline shift, and pupillary difference were significantly associated with a higher risk of postoperative bleeding. However, in the multivariate regression analysis none of these factors showed a significant association with postoperative bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with AP/AC therapy undergoing craniotomy/craniectomy due to TBI do not appear to have increased rates of postoperative bleeding. Once postoperative bleeding occurs, mortality rates rise significantly.
