Abstract
In the forearm, post-traumatic heterotopic ossification usually forms as a proximal radioulnar synostosis. It can occur after soft tissue injury involving the interosseous membrane or after surgery involving the radio and ulna, like distal biceps tendon repair. It can also be induced by radial head dislocation or fracture. Screening radiography can be used to select the appropriate time for excision. The synostosis can be resected when the ectopic bone margin and trabeculation appear mature on x-rays. An interval of 6-12 months from the injury is generally recommended based on ectopic bone maturity. Selection of the surgical approach depends on: site, extension (elbow joint or proximal radioulnar joint, severity of the initial articular surface and periarticular tissue injury. The posterolateral approach is indicated for synostoses: at or distal to the bicipital tuberosity, at the level of the radial head and proximal radioulnar joint. The posterior global approach is recommended when the forearm synostosis is associated with complete bony ankylosis of the elbow involving the distal aspect of the humerus. After surgical resection of a proximal radioulnar synostosis, the exposed bone surfaces can be covered with interposition material to minimize recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid-sequence tracheotomy and scalpel-bougie tracheotomy are two published approaches for establishing emergency front-of-neck access in infants. It is unknown whether there is a difference in performance times and success rates between the two approaches. AIMS The aim of this cross-over randomized control trial study was to investigate whether the two approaches were equivalent for establishing tracheal access in rabbit cadavers. The underlying hypothesis was that the time to achieve the tracheal access is the same with both techniques. METHODS Between May and September 2022, thirty physicians (pediatric anesthesiologists and intensivists) were randomized to perform front-of-neck access using one and then the other technique: rapid-sequence tracheotomy and scalpel-bougie tracheotomy. After watching training videos, each technique was practiced four times followed by a final tracheotomy during which study measurements were obtained. Based on existing data, an equivalence margin was set at ∆ = ±10 s for the duration of the procedure. The primary outcome was defined as the duration until tracheal tube placement was achieved successfully. Secondary outcomes included success rate, structural injuries, and subjective participant self-evaluation. RESULTS The median duration of the scalpel-bougie tracheotomy was 48 s (95% CI: 37-57), while the duration of the rapid-sequence tracheotomy was 59 s (95% CI: 49-66, p = .07). The difference in the median duration between the two approaches was 11 s (95% CI: -4.9 to 29). The overall success rate was 93.3% (95% CI: 83.8%-98.2%). The scalpel-bougie tracheotomy resulted in significantly fewer damaged tracheal rings and was preferred among participants. CONCLUSIONS The scalpel-bougie tracheotomy was slightly faster than the rapid-sequence tracheotomy and favored by participants, with fewer tracheal injuries. Therefore, we propose the scalpel-bougie tracheostomy as a rescue approach favoring the similarity to the adult approach for small children. The use of a comparable equipment kit for both children and adults facilitates standardization, performance, and logistics. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05499273.

Abstract
Aims Post-traumatic periprosthetic acetabular fractures are rare but serious. Few studies carried out on small cohorts have reported them in the literature. The aim of this work is to describe the specific characteristics of post-traumatic periprosthetic acetabular fractures, and the outcome of their surgical treatment in terms of function and complications. Methods Patients with this type of fracture were identified retrospectively over a period of six years (January 2016 to December 2021). The following data were collected: demographic characteristics, date of insertion of the prosthesis, details of the intervention, date of the trauma, characteristics of the fracture, and type of treatment. Functional results were assessed with the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Data concerning complications of treatment were collected. Results Our series included 20 patients, with a mean age of 77 years (46 to 90). All the patients had at least one comorbid condition. Radiographs showed that 75% of the fractures were pure transverse fractures, and a transverse component was present in 90% of patients. All our patients underwent surgical treatment: open reduction and internal fixation, revision of the acetabular component, or both. Mean follow-up was 24 months, and HHS at last follow-up was 75.5 (42 to 95). The principal complications observed were dislocations of the prosthesis (30%) and infections (20%). A need for revision surgery was noted in 30% of patients. No dislocation occurred in patients undergoing osteosynthesis with acetabular reconstruction. We did not note either mechanical loosening of the acetabular component nor thromboembolic complications. In all, 30% of patients presented acute anemia requiring transfusion, and one death was reported. Conclusion Post-traumatic periprosthetic acetabular fractures frequently have a transverse component that can destabilize the acetabular implant. The frequency of complications, principally dislocations, led to a high rate of revision surgery. Improvements in preoperative planning should make it possible to codify management to reduce this high rate of complications. The best results were obtained when the surgical strategy combined osteosynthesis with acetabular reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study proposed a classification of the vertical portion of the facial nerve (VPFN) location, incorporating the previous classifications regarding the posterior-to-anterior and medial-to-lateral dimensions. We also evaluated the implication of this proposed classification on the round window visibility during pediatric cochlear implantation (CI). METHODS It was a retrospective multicenter observational cohort study. This study included 334 cases that underwent CI between 2015 and 2022 at multiple referral institutes. Two physicians evaluated the preoperative computed tomography images of 334 patients and determined the radiological type of the VPFN. These types were matched with intraoperative round window accessibility. RESULTS The Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a strong correlation between the proposed VPFN type and the intraoperative round window visibility, as the P-value was <.001. CONCLUSION This classification could provide the surgeon preoperatively with the precise location of the VPFN in the lateral-to-medial and posterior-to-anterior dimensions. Furthermore, this location classification of the VPFN was significantly correlated with intraoperative round window accessibility, with an accuracy of 90.42%. Therefore, types C and D were expected to have difficult accessibility into the round window, and more surgical interventions were needed to modify the posterior tympanotomy or use other approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgery for midbrain pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) remains a formidable challenge. To facilitate decision-making and achieve a better outcome in the management of patients with midbrain PA, the authors have proposed a novel radiological classification of midbrain PAs with long-term follow-up. METHODS Fifty-seven midbrain PA patients who underwent surgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2008 to June 2021, were reviewed. Based on tumor location and the topological anatomical change identified on MRI, midbrain PAs were categorized into four types: crural (12/57, 21.1%), tegmental (25/57, 43.9%), aqueductal (5/57, 8.8%), and tectal (15/57, 26.3%) PAs. The relevant clinical, radiological, and pathological data; surgical procedures and results; and long-term outcomes were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates reached 98%, 96%, and 96%, respectively, with gross-total resection achieved in 66.7% of cases, followed by near-total resection in 17.5% cases. The clinical and radiological features, selection of surgical approaches, and long-term postoperative deficits were distinct among each type. Crural PAs were associated with younger age (median 9 years, IQR 5.0-12.8 years); the largest tumor volume (median 31.9 cm3, IQR 17.2-42.6 cm3); the lowest preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score (median 65, IQR 50-70); the most frequent preoperative motor deficit (91.7%); a mixed solid-cystic component (75%); occupation of the crural cistern; elevation and rotation of the thalamus (medial and/or lateral); displacement of the anterior third ventricle, uncus, and anterior commissure; the most diverse surgical approaches; more frequent use of multimodality image-guided surgery (58.3%); and the most remarkable improvement in KPS score at long-term follow-up. Tegmental PAs were associated with adolescents and young adults (median age 21 years, IQR 8-33 years); tumor volume (median 13.9 cm3, IQR 9.5-20.5 cm3); a good preoperative KPS score (median 80, IQR 70-80); a mixed solid-cystic component (72%); occupation of the ambient cistern and cerebellomesencephalic fissure; a close relationship with the dorsal pons, superior cerebellar peduncle, and posterior inferior third ventricle; and a higher probability of permanent postoperative sensory deficits (40%). Aqueductal and tectal PAs were associated with small tumor volume (median 9.14 cm3, IQR 5.1-17.4 cm3 and median 11.84 cm3, IQR 5.7-18.3 cm3, respectively), a higher percentage of hydrocephalus (80% and 86.7%, respectively), and a straightforward selection of limited surgical approaches. CONCLUSIONS A novel and comprehensive radiological classification of midbrain PAs was established, which will serve as a valuable tool in patient management and promote uniform communication and comparison across different studies and publications.

Abstract
Objectives This network meta-analysis assesses the outcomes of seven endoscopic approaches, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in choosing the best method for thyroid cancer patients. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases up to March 2023. The analysis included seven endoscopic approaches, with a focus on their respective outcomes through network meta-analysis. Results This meta-analysis included 44 studies involving 8,672 patients. The axillo-bilateral breast approach (ABBA) and unilateral axillo-breast approach (UABA) showed advantages in terms of reduced operative time compared to other approaches (MD = 19.66 minutes, 95% CI = -31.66 to 70.98; MD = 30.32 minutes, 95% CI = -1.45 to 62.09, respectively). The UABA and anterior chest approach (ACA) exhibited superiority in controlling intraoperative bleeding (MD = -3.37 mL, 95% CI = -22.58 to 15.85; MD = -13.77 mL, 95% CI = -28.85 1.31, respectively). UABA and ACA also showed advantages in reducing hospital stays (MD = -0.39 days, 95% CI = -1.48 to 0.71; MD = -0.26 days, 95% CI = -1.33 to 0.81, respectively). The transoral approach (OA) yielded results comparable to those of conventional open thyroidectomy (COT) and outperformed other endoscopic surgeries with regards to lymph node retrieval and metastatic lymph node assessment. For the stimulated serum thyroglobulin (TG) levels, no significant difference was observed between bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) and OA compared to COT. However, chest-breast approach (CBA) showed significantly lower levels than COT (MD=-0.40 ng/ml, 95% CI =-0.72 to -0.09). Patients in the gasless unilateral transaxillary approach (GUA) group experienced a significant improvement in cosmetic satisfaction (MD=-2.08, 95% CI =-3.35 to -0.82). Importantly, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of surgical complications between endoscopic thyroidectomy and COT. Conclusion Endoscopic thyroid surgery is a safe and effective choice for thyroid cancer patients. Different approaches have their advantages, allowing personalized selection based on the patient's needs. ABBA and UABA have shorter operative times, while UABA and ACA excel at controlling bleeding and shortening hospital stays. OA shows promise for lymph node assessment. These findings contribute to the growing evidence supporting endoscopic methods, expanding treatment options for thyroid cancer patients.

Abstract
The study reflects on a 69-year-old female patient with a history of cardio-respiratory disorders who was diagnosed with meningioma en plaque. Her clinical management entailed surgical resection of the tumor, which was followed by a complex postoperative course, including cardiorespiratory arrest and respiratory failure. Histologically, extracranial meningiomas are categorized into five subtypes based on predominant cellular morphology, with the meningothelial type being prevalent in this case. The report also examines the significance of complete tumor resection, noting a lower recurrence rate with gross total resection. Additionally, it discusses the increased susceptibility of extracranial meningiomas with advancing age and a higher incidence in females. Data from various studies underscore the importance of a surgical approach and extent of resection in predicting recurrence risk. The case report concludes by highlighting the critical aspects of the pathology of meningiomas and the surgical strategy that ensured the patient's recovery. The findings from this case contribute to the broader understanding of extracranial meningiomas, their diagnosis, and management.

Abstract
Aims Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a rare benign tumour of the musculoskeletal system. Surgical management is fraught with challenges due to high recurrence rates. The aim of this study was to describe surgical treatment and evaluate surgical outcomes of TGCT at an Australian tertiary referral centre for musculoskeletal tumours and to identify factors affecting recurrence rates. Methods A prospective database of all patients with TGCT surgically managed by two orthopaedic oncology surgeons was reviewed. All cases irrespective of previous treatment were included and patients without follow-up were excluded. Pertinent tumour characteristics and surgical outcomes were collected for analysis. Results There were 111 total cases included in the study; 71 (64%) were female, the mean age was 36 years (SD 13.6), and the knee (n = 64; 57.7%) was the most commonly affected joint. In all, 60 patients (54.1%) had diffuse-type (D-TGCT) disease, and 94 patients (84.7%) presented therapy-naïve as "primary cases" (PC). The overall recurrence rate was 46.8% for TGCT. There was a statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between D-TGCT and localized disease (75.0% vs 13.7%, relative risk (RR) 3.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.17 to 5.34; p < 0.001), and for those who were referred in the "revision cases" (RC) group compared to the PC group (82.4% vs 48.9%, RR 1.68, 95% CI 1.24 to 2.28; p = 0.011). Age, sex, tumour volume, and mean duration of symptoms were not associated with recurrence (p > 0.05). Conclusion Recurrence rates remain high even at a tertiary referral hospital. Highest rates are seen in D-TGCT and "revision cases". Due to the risks of recurrence, the complexity of surgery, and the need for adjuvant therapy, this paper further supports the management of TGCT in a tertiary referral multi-disciplinary orthopaedic oncology service.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of the single-incision technique with a distal biceps repair system versus the modified double-incision technique, specifically the Morrey-modified approach, Krackow sutures, and drill holes, for the management of acute and chronic distal biceps tendon rupture. The study was conducted at the Orthopedic-Traumatology Clinic II of SCJUPBT Timisoara, Romania, between 2014 and 2022. Methods: A total of sixty-nine patients with acute distal biceps tendon rupture and five patients with chronic distal tendon rupture were included in the study. Forty-eight cases underwent the single-incision technique with the distal biceps repair system, while twenty-four patients were treated with the modified double-incision technique. Results: Both surgical techniques demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of successful tendon repair and functional restoration. However, the single-incision technique exhibited slightly superior results in terms of patient satisfaction, range of motion, and postoperative rehabilitation. The modified double-incision technique showed comparable outcomes but had a higher incidence of complications, particularly related to wound healing. Conclusion: The single-incision technique with the distal biceps repair system and the modified double-incision technique, including the Morrey-modified approach, Krackow sutures, and drill holes, are effective surgical approaches for the management of distal biceps tendon rupture. The single-incision technique yielded better functional outcomes and patient satisfaction, while the modified double-incision technique had a higher risk of complications. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is necessary to validate these findings and determine the most appropriate surgical approach for distal biceps tendon rupture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical intervention is a critical tool to address adult spinal deformity (ASD). Given the evolution of spinal surgical techniques, we sought to characterize developments in ASD correction and barriers impacting clinical outcomes. METHODS We conducted a literature review utilizing PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to examine advances in ASD surgical correction and ongoing challenges from patient and clinician perspectives. ASD procedures were examined across pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases. RESULTS Several factors influence the effectiveness of ASD correction. Standardized radiographic parameters and three-dimensional modeling have been used to guide operative planning. Complex minimally invasive procedures, targeted corrections, and staged procedures can tailor surgical approaches while minimizing operative time. Further, improvements in osteotomy technique, intraoperative navigation, and enhanced hardware have increased patient safety. However, challenges remain. Variability in patient selection and deformity undercorrection have resulted in heterogenous clinical responses. Surgical complications, including blood loss, infection, hardware failure, proximal junction kyphosis/failure, and pseudarthroses, pose barriers. Although minimally invasive approaches are being utilized more often, clinical validation is needed. CONCLUSIONS The growing prevalence of ASD requires surgical solutions that can lead to sustained symptom resolution. Leveraging computational and imaging advances will be necessary as we seek to provide comprehensive treatment plans for patients.

Abstract
Articular cartilage injuries are found in up to 60% of patients who undergo an arthroscopic knee procedure, and those that totally affect articular cartilage (grade IV) have limited regenerative capacity and extended time for recovery. 3-D scaffolds represent a novel solution to address this type of injury. Our purpose was to analyze the MRI findings and functional status of patients that underwent repair of chondral defects either by microfractures or Hyaluronan (HA) 3-D scaffolding. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with chondral defects. The outcomes analyzed in this study included anatomical changes evaluated by the Henderson score (based on MRI findings) at baseline, 6, and 12 months after surgery, and improvement in functionality evaluated by the Modified Cincinnati Knee Rating System (MCKRS) at baseline and 6 months after surgery. Clinical and demographic characteristics were similar for both groups. There was a statistically significant improvement in Henderson score for the 3-D scaffold-treated group at 6 months versus the microfracture group (p < 0.0001). Improvement in functionality, measured by the MCKRS, was more frequently found in the 3-D scaffold-treated group. In conclusion, the use of HA 3-D scaffolding was superior, with faster recovery evident 6 months after the surgery that progressed to full recovery in all patients a year after surgery. Future studies with a randomized design might help to support our findings. This study provides level III evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs) are rare tumors arising from the meninges surrounding the sphenoid bone and orbital structures. Surgical resection is the primary treatment approach for SOMs. Several surgical approaches have been described during the decades, including microsurgical transcranial (MTAs), endoscopic endonasal (EEAs), endoscopic transorbital (ETOAs), and combined approaches, and the choice of surgical approach remains a topic of debate. PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to compare the clinical and surgical outcomes of different surgical approaches used for the treatment of SOMs, discussing surgical techniques, outcomes, and factors influencing surgical decision making. METHODS A comprehensive literature review of the databases PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid EMBASE was conducted for articles published on the role of surgery for the treatment of SOMs until 2023. The systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Meta-analysis was performed to estimate pooled event rates and assess heterogeneity. Fixed- and random-effects were used to assess 95% confidential intervals (CIs) of presenting symptoms, outcomes, and complications. RESULTS A total of 59 studies comprising 1903 patients were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Gross total resection (GTR) rates ranged from 23.5% for ETOAs to 59.8% for MTAs. Overall recurrence rate after surgery was 20.7%. Progression-free survival (PFS) rates at 5 and 10 years were 75.5% and 49.1%, respectively. Visual acuity and proptosis improvement rates were 57.5% and 79.3%, respectively. Postoperative cranial nerve (CN) focal deficits were observed in 20.6% of cases. The overall cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) leak rate was 3.9%, and other complications occurred in 13.9% of cases. MTAs showed the highest GTR rates (59.8%, 95%CI = 49.5-70.2%; p = 0.001) but were associated with increased CN deficits (21.0%, 95%CI = 14.5-27.6%). ETOAs had the lowest GTR rates (23.5%, 95%CI = 0.0-52.5%; p = 0.001), while combined ETOA and EEA had the highest CSF leak rates (20.3%, 95%CI = 0.0-46.7%; p = 0.551). ETOAs were associated with better proptosis improvement (79.4%, 95%CI = 57.3-100%; p = 0.002), while anatomical class I lesions were associated with better visual acuity (71.5%, 95%CI = 63.7-79.4; p = 0.003) and proptosis (60.1%, 95%CI = 38.0-82.2; p = 0.001) recovery. No significant differences were found in PFS rates between surgical approaches. CONCLUSION Surgical treatment of SOMs aims to preserve visual function and improve proptosis. Different surgical approaches offer varying rates of GTR, complications, and functional outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach involving a skull base team is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Surgery is an essential treatment for non-distant metastatic cutaneous melanoma (NMCM). We aim to construct and validate prognostic nomograms based on surgical approaches and the clinicopathological characteristics of NMCM patients. METHODS Data of patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma from 2004 to 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Two online nomograms were constructed to predict the 3, 5-year melanoma-specific survival (MSS) for NMCM patients based on the surgical approaches. These nomograms were evaluated by the dynamic Harrell's concordance index (C-index), decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve. Both internal and external data verification were conducted. RESULTS A total of 14,091 NMCM cases were included in this study. The C-index of the nomograms for the excisional surgery group and amputation group were 0.818 and 0.806, respectively, and 0.763 and 0.731, respectively, in our hospital data validation. After internal and bootstrap verification, our two nomograms showed good accuracy and practicality. CONCLUSION NMCM patients exhibited equal survival rates independent of resection margin size, while those who needed amputation had worse survival rates. We generated two online nomograms distinguished by surgical approach to predict NMCM patient survival based on clinicopathological characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two Centuries from today, Karl Friedrich Burdach attributed the nomenclature "arcuate fasciculus" to a white matter (WM) pathway connecting the frontal to the temporal cortices by arching around the Sylvian fissure. Although this label remained essentially unvaried, the concepts related to it and the characterization of the structural properties of this bundle evolved along with the methodological progress of the past years. Concurrently, the functional relevance of the arcuate fasciculus (AF) classically restricted to the linguistic domain has extended to further cognitive abilities. These features make it a relevant structure to consider in a large variety of neurosurgical procedures. OBJECTIVE Herein, we build on our previous review uncovering the connectivity provided by the Superior Longitudinal System, including the AF, and provide a handy representation of the structural organization of the AF by considering the frequency of defined reports in the literature. By adopting the same approach, we implement an account of which functions are mediated by this WM bundle. We highlight how this information can be transferred to the neurosurgical field by presenting four surgical cases of glioma resection requiring the evaluation of the relationship between the AF and the nearby structures, and the safest approaches to adopt. CONCLUSIONS Our cumulative overview reports the most common wiring patterns and functional implications to be expected when approaching the study of the AF, while still considering seldom descriptions as an account of interindividual variability. Given its extension and the variety of cortical territories it reaches, the AF is a pivotal structure for different cognitive functions, and thorough understanding of its structural wiring and the functions it mediates is necessary for preserving the patient's cognitive abilities during glioma resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influencing factors, especially time to treatment (TTT), for T1b/T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC) patients remain unknown. We aimed to identify the influencing factors on survival and surgical approaches selection for T1b/T2 GBC. METHODS We retrospectively screened GBC patients between January 2011 and August 2018 from our hospital. Clinical variables, including patient characteristics, TTT, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), surgery-related outcomes, and surgical approaches were collected. RESULTS A total of 114 T1b/T2 GBC patients who underwent radical resection were included. Based on the median TTT of 7.5 days, the study cohort was divided into short TTT group (TTT ≤7 days, n = 57) and long TTT group (TTT >7 days, n = 57). Referrals were identified as the primary factor prolonging TTT (p < 0.001). There was no significance in OS (p = 0.790), DFS (p = 0.580), and surgery-related outcomes (all p > 0.05) between both groups. Decreased referrals (p = 0.005), fewer positive lymph nodes (LNs; p = 0.004), and well tumor differentiation (p = 0.004) were all associated with better OS, while fewer positive LNs (p = 0.049) were associated with better DFS. Subgroup analyses revealed no significant difference in survival between patients undergoing laparoscopic or open approach in different TTT groups (all p > 0.05). And secondary subgroup analyses found no significance in survival and surgery-related outcomes between different TTT groups of incidental GBC patients (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Positive LNs and tumor differentiation were prognostic factors for T1b/T2 GBC survival. Referrals associating with poor OS would delay TTT, while the prolonged TTT would not impact survival, surgery-related outcomes, and surgical approaches decisions in T1b/T2 GBC patients.

Abstract
Surgery is usually required to treat colorectal cancer (CRC). Medical technology has advanced, providing various approaches to tackle this disease. Different surgeries are available, such as laparoscopic surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has several benefits including reduced blood loss and shorter recovery time. It can also improve lung function and minimize complications. However, it requires more time to perform and has a higher risk of complications during the procedure. Robotic surgery provides a three-dimensional view of the surgical area allowing for greater precision in rectal surgeries and access to difficult-to-reach pelvic regions. This method utilizes robotics technology which reduces surgical time and speeds up recovery for patients. There are various surgical options available for treating CRC; however, laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery offer unique advantages despite their own drawbacks. As technology continues to evolve, medical techniques will continue improving existing methods while providing new options resulting in better outcomes for patients. Compared to laparoscopy, robotic surgery has a lower rate of operative conversions and a shorter learning curve. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as a longer docking time, lack of tactile sensation, and higher cost. Therefore, the choice of surgical method should depend on patient characteristics, surgeon preference and expertise, and available resources. Currently, specialized centers offer robotic surgeries which are more expensive and take longer compared to open and laparoscopic approaches. Nonetheless, they are considered safe and feasible when compared to traditional surgery. Short-term outcomes for robotic surgeries are better, while long-term postoperative complication rates remain similar. However, there is a need for additional well-defined randomized control trials conducted across multiple centers to validate the use of robotic surgery over open and laparoscopic approaches. Improving patient care and outcomes is the objective of this comprehensive literature overview on surgical approaches for CRC.

Abstract
In this article we present the surgical approaches to the temporal bone paraganglioma based on the anatomical studies. OBJECTIVE To detalize the anatomy of the jugular foramen according to the comparison of cadaver dissections findings and the CT scans data that were performed before the dissections, for improvement of quality of treatment of patients with temporal bone paraganglioma (Fisch type C). MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of CT scans and the steps of the approaches to the jugular foramen (retrofacial and infratemporal approaches with opening of jugular bulb and identification of the anatomical structures of jugular foramen) were analyzed on 10 cadaver heads, 20 sides. Clinical implementation was demonstrated in case of temporal bone paraganglioma type C. RESULTS Based on the detail study of the CTs data we revealed the individual features of the temporal bone structures. Due to the results of 3D rendering the average length of the jugular foramen in anterior-posterior direction was 10.1 mm. The length of vascular part was larger than the nervous part. The posterior part had the bigger height wherein the shortest part we detected between jugular ridges, which in some cases caused the dumbbell shape of jugular foramen. According to 3D multiplanar reconstruction the distances between jugular crests (3.0 mm) had the lowest measures and the largest was between internal auditory canal (IAC) and jugular bulb (JB) (8.01mm). At the same time, one of the largest variations of values was also identified between IAC and JB (from 4.39 to 9.84 mm). The distance between the facial nerve in the mastoid segment and JB was variable (from 3.4 to 10.2 mm) and determined by the volume and position of the JB. The results of the dissection corresponded to the measurements according to the CT scans, taking into account the 2-3 mm error due to the massive removal of temporal bone during performing of surgical approaches. CONCLUSION The detailed knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the jugular foramen based on a thorough analysis of preoperative CT data is the key to an adequate surgical tactic for the removal of different types of temporal bone paraganglioma while preserving the function of vital structures and the quality of life. A larger study on the big data is needed to determine the statistical relationship between the volume of JB and the size of the jugular crest; the correlation between the dimensions of jugular crests and the tumor invasion in the anterior part of the jugular foramen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of five different approaches to cervical cancer surgery. METHODS We conducted a systematic search for comparative studies on different radical hysterectomy types for cervical cancer in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. All included observational studies used survival analyses to compare clinical outcomes of patients undergoing different radical hysterectomy types. All studies were assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale with scores of at least seven points. We extracted the relevant data and conducted a network meta-analysis to compare clinical outcomes among five surgical approaches. RESULTS Thirty studies (n = 11 353) were included. Robotic surgery had the lowest blood loss volume and hospitalization duration; open surgery had the shortest operative time. Vaginal assisted laparoscopic surgery was associated with the highest number of resected lymph nodes and lowest rate of perioperative complications. Survival outcomes and tumor recurrence outcomes were similar among the approaches. CONCLUSION The current approaches to cervical cancer surgery have comparable efficacies.

Abstract
A variety of surgical techniques exist for deep burn wounds in the shin at low temperature reconstruction after appropriate debridement, but limited high-quality data exist to inform treatment strategies. Using multi-institutional data, the authors evaluated the length of healing time, cost, and outcomes of three common surgical reconstructive modalities. All subjects with deep burn wounds in the shin caused by low temperature who received direct suture repair, skin grafting, or local flap reconstruction were retrospectively reviewed (from 2015.01 to 2021.03). Mean operation time, mean blood loss in operation, postoperative healing time, whether there is scar depression after operation were the primary outcomes; patient satisfaction score, Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score and average costs were secondary outcomes. Two hundred subjects (68 suture, 87 skin-grafting, and 45 local flap coverage patients) were evaluated. Matched patients (n = 200; 3/groups) were analysed. The average operation time, average operation blood loss, and postoperative healing time were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Readmissions and reoperations were greater for direct suture and local flaps, if achievable, direct suture provided success at low cost. Skin grafting was effective with large burn wounds but at higher costs and longer length of stay. Local flaps successfully treated smaller burn wounds unable to suture directly, with less pigmentation and scars, even suitable for older patients. Deep low heat burn wounds in the shin healing can be performed effectively using multiple modalities with varying degrees of success and costs. Direct suture or local skin flap reconstruction, if achievable, provides successful coverage at minimal costs, no skin contractures, and reducing length of hospital stay.

Abstract
AIMS Patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) have an almost ten-fold increased risk of dislocation compared to patients undergoing elective THA. The surgical approach influences the risk of dislocation. To date, the influence of differing head sizes and dual-mobility components (DMCs) on the risk of dislocation has not been well studied. METHODS In an observational cohort study on 8,031 FNF patients with THA between January 2005 and December 2014, Swedish Arthroplasty Register data were linked with the National Patient Register, recording the total dislocation rates at one year and revision rates at three years after surgery. The cumulative incidence of events was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox multivariable regression models were fitted to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of dislocation, revision, or mortality, stratified by surgical approach. RESULTS The cumulative dislocation rate at one year was 8.3% (95% CI 7.3 to 9.3) for patients operated on using the posterior approach and 2.7% (95% CI 2.2 to 3.2) when using the direct lateral approach. In the posterior approach group, use of DMC was associated with reduced adjusted risk of dislocation compared to 32 mm heads (HR 0.21 (95% CI 0.07 to 0.68); p = 0.009). This risk was increased with head sizes < 32 mm (HR 1.47 (95% CI 1.10 to 1.98); p = 0.010). Neither DMC nor different head sizes influenced the risk of revision following the posterior approach. Neither articulation was associated with a statistically significantly reduced adjusted risk of dislocation in patients where the direct lateral approach was performed, although this risk was estimated to be HR 0.14 (95% CI 0.02 to 1.02; p = 0.053) after the use of DMC. DMC inserted through a direct lateral approach was associated with a reduced risk of revision for any reason versus THA with 32 mm heads (HR 0.36 (95% CI 0.13 to 0.99); p = 0.047). CONCLUSION When using a posterior approach for THA in FNF patients, DMC reduces the risk of dislocation, while a non-significant risk reduction is seen for DMC after use of the direct lateral approach. The direct lateral approach is protective against dislocation and is also associated with a lower rate of revision at three years, compared to the posterior approach.

Abstract
Simple Summary Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an image-guided tool, especially in brain tumor resection surgery. Neuroimaging tools are essential for operative planning, particularly for maximizing tumor resection and, at the same time, preserving brain function. In this systematic review, we discuss the utilization of DTI in brain tumor resection, by looking into its ability to assess the perioperative approach, as well as evaluating its benefits for successful surgery. The present study proposes to use DTI as a vital neuroimaging tool for preoperative planning in brain tumor resection surgery. Abstract The diffusion tensor imaging technique has been recognized as a neuroimaging tool for in vivo visualization of white matter tracts. However, DTI is not a routine procedure for preoperative planning for brain tumor resection. Our study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of DTI and the outcomes of surgery. The electronic databases, PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus, were searched for relevant studies. Studies were systematically reviewed based on the application of DTI in pre-surgical planning, modification of operative planning, re-evaluation of preoperative DTI data intraoperatively, and the outcome of surgery decisions. Seventeen studies were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most studies agreed that preoperative planning using DTI improves postoperative neuro-deficits, giving a greater resection yield and shortening the surgery time. The results also indicate that the re-evaluation of preoperative DTI intraoperatively assists in a better visualization of white matter tract shifts. Seven studies also suggested that DTI modified the surgical decision of the initial surgical approach and the rate of the GTR in tumor resection surgery. The utilization of DTI may give essential information on white matter tract pathways, for a better surgical approach, and eventually reduce the risk of neurologic deficits after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) are complex, difficult to access, and highly variable in size, shape, and position. The authors have proposed a novel taxonomy for pontine cavernous malformations (CMs) based upon clinical presentation (syndromes) and anatomical location (findings on MRI). METHODS The proposed taxonomy was applied to a 30-year (1990-2019), 2-surgeon experience. Of 601 patients who underwent microsurgical resection of BSCMs, 551 with appropriate data were classified on the basis of BSCM location: midbrain (151 [27%]), pons (323 [59%]), and medulla (77 [14%]). Pontine lesions were then subtyped on the basis of their predominant surface presentation identified on preoperative MRI. Neurological outcomes were assessed according to the modified Rankin Scale, with a score ≤ 2 defined as favorable. RESULTS The 323 pontine BSCMs were classified into 6 distinct subtypes: basilar (6 [1.9%]), peritrigeminal (53 [16.4%]), middle peduncular (MP) (100 [31.0%]), inferior peduncular (47 [14.6%]), rhomboid (80 [24.8%]), and supraolivary (37 [11.5%]). Part 1 of this 2-part series describes the taxonomic basis for the first 3 of these 6 subtypes of pontine CM. Basilar lesions are located in the anteromedial pons and associated with contralateral hemiparesis. Peritrigeminal lesions are located in the anterolateral pons and are associated with hemiparesis and sensory changes. Patients with MP lesions presented with mild anterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome with contralateral hemisensory loss, ipsilateral ataxia, and ipsilateral facial numbness without cranial neuropathies. A single surgical approach and strategy were preferred for each subtype: for basilar lesions, the pterional craniotomy and anterior transpetrous approach was preferred; for peritrigeminal lesions, extended retrosigmoid craniotomy and transcerebellopontine angle approach; and for MP lesions, extended retrosigmoid craniotomy and trans-middle cerebellar peduncle approach. Favorable outcomes were observed in 123 of 143 (86%) patients with follow-up data. There were no significant differences in outcomes between the 3 subtypes or any other subtypes. CONCLUSIONS The neurological symptoms and key localizing signs associated with a hemorrhagic pontine subtype can help to define that subtype clinically. The proposed taxonomy for pontine CMs meaningfully guides surgical strategy and may improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to determine if uncemented acetabular polyethylene (PE) liner geometry, and lip size, influenced the risk of revision for instability or loosening. METHODS A total of 202,511 primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with uncemented acetabular components were identified from the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset between 2003 and 2017. The effect of liner geometry on the risk of revision for instability or loosening was investigated using competing risk regression analyses adjusting for age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, indication, side, institution type, surgeon grade, surgical approach, head size, and polyethylene crosslinking. Stratified analyses by surgical approach were performed, including pairwise comparisons of liner geometries. RESULTS The distribution of liner geometries were neutral (39.4%; 79,822), 10° (34.5%; 69,894), 15° (21.6%; 43,722), offset reorientating (2.8%; 5705), offset neutral (0.9%; 1,767), and 20° (0.8%; 1,601). There were 690 (0.34%) revisions for instability. Compared to neutral liners, the adjusted subhazard ratios of revision for instability were: 10°, 0.64 (p < 0.001); 15°, 0.48 (p < 0.001); and offset reorientating, 1.6 (p = 0.010). No association was found with other geometries. 10° and 15° liners had a time-dependent lower risk of revision for instability within the first 1.2 years. In posterior approaches, 10° and 15° liners had a lower risk of revision for instability, with no significant difference between them. The protective effect of lipped over neutral liners was not observed in laterally approached THAs. There were 604 (0.3%) revisions for loosening, but no association between liner geometry and revision for loosening was found. CONCLUSION This registry-based study confirms a lower risk of revision for instability in posterior approach THAs with 10° or 15° lipped liners compared to neutral liners, but no significant difference between these lip sizes. A higher revision risk is seen with offset reorientating liners. The benefit of lipped geometries against revision for instability was not seen in laterally approached THAs. Liner geometry does not seem to influence the risk of revision for loosening. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(12):1774-1782.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the kinematic effects of the dorsal fiber-splitting approach for scapholunate ligament repair to a dorsal "window" approach that spares all ligaments. METHODS We randomized 24 fresh-frozen paired cadaveric forearms to either the dorsal fiber-splitting capsulotomy approach (FSC) or the dorsal window approach (window) following scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) division. Loaded fluoroscopic radiographs were obtained after each of the 4 testing conditions following cyclic loading (200 cycles; 71 N): (1) intact SLIL, (2) SLIL-division, (3) surgical approach, and (4) closure. FSC specimens were randomly allocated to 2 subgroups for closure with either a suture anchor (n = 6) or a simple running suture closure (n = 6). Radiographic parameter measurements included the scapholunate gap, radiolunate angle, scapholunate angle, and dorsal scaphoid translation. RESULTS Following the FSC, there were significant alterations in all radiographic parameters when compared with the intact and SLIL-division conditions. The window approach did not result in significant changes in any radiographic parameter. When compared to the window approach, all radiographic parameters of the FSC approach were significantly altered. Following closure with suture anchors in the FSC group, radiographic parameters improved, whereas with standard closure they failed to do so. Despite anchor closure, dorsal scaphoid translation, radiolunate angle, and scapholunate angle all remained elevated compared with scapholunate-divided wrists. CONCLUSIONS The FSC produced significant changes in carpal posture under load, including scapholunate diastasis, dorsal intercalated segment instability, and dorsal scaphoid translation in SLIL-deficient wrists. The window approach preserved the critical dorsal ligament stabilizers and did not produce changes in carpal posture. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The FSC may create iatrogenic changes in carpal posture that cannot be fully corrected with standard or anchor closure. The window approach does not alter carpal posture and should be considered when performing surgical procedures on the scaphoid or lunate.

Abstract
AIMS To determine if primary cemented acetabular component geometry (long posterior wall (LPW), hooded, or offset reorientating) influences the risk of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for instability or loosening. METHODS The National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset was analyzed for primary THAs performed between 2003 and 2017. A cohort of 224,874 cemented acetabular components were included. The effect of acetabular component geometry on the risk of revision for instability or for loosening was investigated using log-binomial regression adjusting for age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, indication, side, institution type, operating surgeon grade, surgical approach, polyethylene crosslinking, and prosthetic head size. A competing risk survival analysis was performed with the competing risks being revision for other indications or death. RESULTS The distribution of acetabular component geometries was: LPW 81.2%; hooded 18.7%; and offset reorientating 0.1%. There were 3,313 (1.5%) revision THAs performed, of which 815 (0.4%) were for instability and 838 (0.4%) were for loosening. Compared to the LPW group, the adjusted subhazard ratio of revision for instability in the hooded group was 2.31 (p < 0.001) and 4.12 (p = 0.047) in the offset reorientating group. Likewise, the subhazard ratio of revision for loosening was 2.65 (p < 0.001) in the hooded group and 13.61 (p < 0.001) in the offset reorientating group. A time-varying subhazard ratio of revision for instability (hooded vs LPW) was found, being greatest within the first three months. CONCLUSION This registry-based study confirms a significantly higher risk of revision after cemented THA for instability and for loosening when a hooded or offset reorientating acetabular component is used, compared to a LPW component. Further research is required to clarify if certain patients benefit from the use of hooded or offset reorientating components, but we recommend caution when using such components in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Outcomes following different types of surgical intervention for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are well reported individually but comparative data are deficient. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis to analyze the outcomes following surgical management of FAI by hip arthroscopy (HA), anterior mini open approach (AMO), and surgical hip dislocation (SHD). This SR was registered with PROSPERO. An electronic database search of PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE for English and German language articles over the last 20 years was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We specifically analyzed and compared changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), α-angle, rate of complications, rate of revision, and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). A total of 48 articles were included for final analysis with a total of 4,384 hips in 4,094 patients. All subgroups showed a significant correction in mean α angle postoperatively with a mean change of 28.8° (95% confidence interval (CI) 21 to 36.5; p < 0.01) after AMO, 21.1° (95% CI 15.1 to 27; p < 0.01) after SHD, and 20.5° (95% CI 16.1 to 24.8; p < 0.01) after HA. The AMO group showed a significantly higher increase in PROMs (3.7; 95% CI 3.2 to 4.2; p < 0.01) versus arthroscopy (2.5; 95% CI 2.3 to 2.8; p < 0.01) and SHD (2.4; 95% CI 1.5 to 3.3; p < 0.01). However, the rate of complications following AMO was significantly higher than HA and SHD. All three surgical approaches offered significant improvements in PROMs and radiological correction of cam deformities. All three groups showed similar rates of revision procedures but SHD had the highest rate of conversion to a THA. Revision rates were similar for all three revision procedures.

Abstract
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a rare tumor syndrome that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, is continuing to raise great interest for endocrinology, gastroenterology, surgery, radiology, genetics, and molecular biology specialists. There have been 2 major clinical practice guidance papers published in the past 2 decades, with the most recent published 8 years ago. Since then, several new insights on the basic biology and clinical features of MEN1 have appeared in the literature, and those data are discussed in this review. The genetic and molecular interactions of the MEN1-encoded protein menin with transcription factors and chromatin-modifying proteins in cell signaling pathways mediated by transforming growth factor β/bone morphogenetic protein, a few nuclear receptors, Wnt/β-catenin, and Hedgehog, and preclinical studies in mouse models have facilitated the understanding of the pathogenesis of MEN1-associated tumors and potential pharmacological interventions. The advancements in genetic diagnosis have offered a chance to recognize MEN1-related conditions in germline MEN1 mutation-negative patients. There is rapidly accumulating knowledge about clinical presentation in children, adolescents, and pregnancy that is translatable into the management of these very fragile patients. The discoveries about the genetic and molecular signatures of sporadic neuroendocrine tumors support the development of clinical trials with novel targeted therapies, along with advancements in diagnostic tools and surgical approaches. Finally, quality of life studies in patients affected by MEN1 and related conditions represent an effort necessary to develop a pharmacoeconomic interpretation of the problem. Because advances are being made both broadly and in focused areas, this timely review presents and discusses those studies collectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several surgical approaches including midvastus, subvastus, mini-parapatellar, quadriceps-sparring (QS) and parapatellar are currently used to perform total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since none of published study exhibited a simultaneous comparison of all of them, a network meta-analysis has been conducted to compare the most widely used knee surgical approaches regarding the improvement of functional outcomes and the range of motion (ROM). METHODS Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TKA approaches were searched in electronic databases, major orthopedics journals, and oral communications, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform until May 1st, 2020. Two reviewers independently selected trials and extracted data. The primary outcomes were functional scores at 6 months post-surgeryevaluated by KSS and WOMAC, and the ROM. RESULTS Sixty RCTs involving 5042 patients with 5107 TKA were included. No significant differences between different approaches were found for the KSS assessment or the WOMAC at 6 months. The mean of ROM at 6 months post-surgery were higher in the subvastus group than in all the others surgical approaches. The difference of ROM with subvastus approach was 7.3° (95% CI -14.1 to -0.1) with the midvastus approach, 11.1° (95% CI -18.7 to -2.8) with mini-parapatellar, 8.9° (95% CI -14.2 to -3.1) with standard parapatellar, and 9.2° (95% CI -16.1 to -1.8) with QS. CONCLUSION No differences were found in functional outcomes over short or medium terms but subvastus seemed to increase the ROM at 6 months post-surgery. Until or unless future studies can demonstrate a long-term benefit, based on these results all studied surgical approaches to perform a TKA are equal. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Network meta-analysis. Level 1.

Abstract
Introduction Many approaches to performing total hip arthroplasty (THA) exist, primarily due to an insufficient amount of research that would favor one approach over the other. This study aimed to compare the risk of nerve injury, dislocation, Trendelenburg gait, and stem malposition between the direct lateral and posterior approaches to THA. Methods The study was a retrospective cohort study, and it was conducted in King Abdulaziz Medical City. It was directed toward adult patients who underwent THA from November 1, 2003, to November 1, 2018. All figures were obtained through the BESTCare system (ezCareTech, Saudi Arabia). Categorical variables were presented as frequencies and proportions. Quantitative variables were measured as mean and standard deviation. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the risk of complications between the two approaches. Results The posterior approach displayed a greater risk of stem malposition (p< 0.001) when compared with the direct lateral approach. However, neither approach showed a higher risk of dislocation, nerve injury, or Trendelenburg gait. Conclusions A higher risk of stem malposition was observed in the posterior approach, and there were no remarkable variances between the two approaches in the risk of dislocation, nerve injury, and Trendelenburg gait. Until more meticulous nationwide studies are available to provide evidence that would favor an approach over the other, the choice of surgical approach for THA remains to depend on the patient's characteristics and the surgeon's prior experience. Regardless of the approach, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors that increase the risk of complications should also be identified and addressed adequately.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the surgical outcomes of transconjunctival approach in management of different orbital tumors at different locations. METHODS This prospective, non-comparative, clinical interventional study was conducted in the period between March 2017 and January 2020 and included 61 patients with histologically proved orbital tumors. In all cases, a conjunctival incision near the fornix was made depending on the tumor location as revealed by CT or MRI. A traction suture was applied to one or two relevant recti muscles to guide the globe toward the desired direction. Blunt orbital dissection was made toward the tumor until exposing its anterior surface. The procedure was considered successful if the predetermined decision (total excision with improved clinical manifestations for benign and biopsy for diagnosis in malignant tumors) was achieved without causing permanent complications. The procedure was considered a failure if the predetermined decision was not achieved or if permanent complications developed. RESULTS The patients were divided into: Group A of 47 patients (77.05%) with benign tumors and Group B of 14 patients (22.95%) with malignant tumors. The overall success rate of the approach was 98.36% (60 out of 61 patients), while failure occurred in one case (1.64%). CONCLUSIONS The transconjunctival orbitotomy is an excellent approach to manage different tumors at different orbital locations with rapid recovery and maximum cosmetic results. It is the only approach that can access intra-conal, mid-orbital tumors whatever their relation to the optic nerve without crossing it.

Abstract
The atrophic posterior ridges are usually characterized by poor bone quality and quantity: this situation requires the use of bone regenerative techniques. Other alternative surgical approaches are investigated. Nowadays the use of trans-sinus implants offers some advantages due to its feasibility. Today, bone grafting may be practical, but depends on many factors, such as the type of bone graft used (autogenous, alloplastic, or xenograft), host response, age of the patient, various complications associated with grafting procedures, infection, and, most importantly, the time spent while the grafted material matures and is taken up by the bone. So, this case report describes the feasibility of an alternative surgical technique associated to PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shoulder arthroplasty with previous axillary lymph node dissection historically has unsatisfactory outcomes. We analyzed outcomes of primary shoulder arthroplasty in patients with previous axillary lymph node dissection. METHODS Thirty-two primary shoulder arthroplasties after prior axillary lymph node dissection were performed. These patients were analyzed for patient-reported outcomes, range of motion, complications, and reoperations. RESULTS Average age was 70.8 ± 7.5 years old. There were 19 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties, four hemiarthroplasties, and nine reverse total shoulder arthroplasties. Eight were performed by a superior approach while 24 were performed by a deltopectoral approach with cephalic vein preservation. There were three complications (one deltoid dehiscence, one axillary nerve palsy, and one postoperative pneumonia). There was one revision (hemiarthroplasty to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for cuff failure at 91 weeks), two reoperations, and no infections. Patient-reported outcomes were available for 21/26 (80.1%) of the surviving shoulders at 4.8 ± 2.0 years. Average visual analog scale pain score was 7.1 ± 14.5, Simple Shoulder Test score 8.3 ± 2.6 "yes" responses, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score 80.2 ± 17.4, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score 83.6 ± 14.1. CONCLUSION Axillary lymph node dissection is not a contraindication to shoulder arthroplasty. A deltopectoral exposure can be utilized without substantial risk of worsening lymphedema or wound complications. While a superior approach avoids cephalic vein injury, important approach-related complications (deltoid dehiscence and axillary nerve palsy) were observed.Level of evidence: Level IV-case series.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cisternal pulvinar is a challenging location for neurosurgery. Four approaches for reaching the pulvinar without cortical transgression are the ipsilateral supracerebellar infratentorial (iSCIT), contralateral supracerebellar infratentorial (cSCIT), ipsilateral occipital transtentorial (iOCTT), and contralateral occipital transtentorial/falcine (cOCTF) approaches. This study quantitatively compared these approaches in terms of surgical exposure and maneuverability. METHODS Each of the 4 approaches was performed in 4 cadaveric heads (8 specimens in total). A 6-sided anatomical polygonal region was configured over the cisternal pulvinar, defined by 6 reachable anatomical points in different vectors. Multiple polygons were subsequently formed to calculate the areas of exposure. The surgical freedom of each approach was calculated as the maximum allowable working area at the proximal end of a probe, with the distal end fixed at the posterior pole of the pulvinar. Areas of exposure, surgical freedom, and the working distance (surgical depth) of all approaches were compared. RESULTS No significant difference was found among the 4 different approaches with regard to the surgical depth, surgical freedom, or medial exposure area of the pulvinar. In the pairwise comparison, the cSCIT approach provided a significantly larger lateral exposure (39 ± 9.8 mm2) than iSCIT (19 ± 10.3 mm2, p < 0.01), iOCTT (19 ± 8.2 mm2, p < 0.01), and cOCTF (28 ± 7.3 mm2, p = 0.02) approaches. The total exposure area with a cSCIT approach (75 ± 23.1 mm2) was significantly larger than with iOCTT (43 ± 16.4 mm2, p < 0.01) and iSCIT (40 ± 20.2 mm2, p = 0.01) approaches (pairwise, p ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The cSCIT approach is preferable among the 4 compared approaches, demonstrating better exposure to the cisternal pulvinar than ipsilateral approaches and a larger lateral exposure than the cOCTF approach. Both contralateral approaches described (cSCIT and cOCTF) provided enhanced lateral exposure to the pulvinar, while the cOCTF provided a larger exposure to the lateral portion of the pulvinar than the iOCTT. Medial exposure and maneuverability did not differ among the approaches. A short tentorium may negatively impact an ipsilateral approach because the cingulate isthmus and parahippocampal gyrus tend to protrude, in which case they can obstruct access to the cisternal pulvinar ipsilaterally.

Abstract
Posterior cranial fossa meningiomas represent approximately 9% of all the intracranial meningiomas. Despite the recent reports of radiation therapy in the management of these tumors, surgical resection continues to be the first line of treatment method aiming the permanent meningioma eradication. The evolution of imaging studies improved the preoperative evaluation of meningiomas providing greater anatomical detail of small structures not previously visualized. Nonetheless, the preoperative radiological evaluation should go beyond the differential diagnosis of a posterior fossa tumor. Anatomo-radiological assessment of meningiomas is discussed in detail. Based on our clinical experience, literature review, and case illustration, we highlight important preoperative anatomo-radiological aspects of posterior fossa meningiomas and their implications in the surgical management of these tumors.

Abstract
Knowledge of the age-related changes in inguinal region anatomy is essential in pediatric urological and abdominal surgery, yet little is published. This study aimed to determine the position of inguinal region structures and growth of the surrounding pelvis and inguinal ligament in subjects from 0 to 19 years of age. Anonymized contrast-enhanced CT DICOM datasets of 103 patients (63 male: 40 female) aged from 0 to 19 years had left and right sides analyzed by three independent observers. Exclusion criteria were applied. Growth of the pelvis and inguinal ligament were determined using fixed bony reference points. The position of the deep inguinal ring and femoral vasculature were determined as ratio of inguinal ligament length, measured from the anterior superior iliac spine. Growth of the pelvis in vertical and horizontal dimensions and of the inguinal ligament followed a positive polynomial relationship with increasing age, with no observed increase in growth rate during puberty. From 0 to 19 years, the deep inguinal ring moved superolaterally with respect to the inguinal ligament (from 0.74 to 0.60 of the distance along the inguinal ligament) and the femoral artery and vein moved medially (from 0.50 to 0.58, and 0.61 to 0.65 of the distance along the inguinal ligament, respectively). The position of the femoral artery, vein, and deep inguinal ring followed a logarithmic relationship with age. No significant left:right side or male:female differences were observed. From 0 to 19 years of age the femoral vasculature and deep inguinal ring change position as the pelvis grows around them. Clin. Anat. 32:794-802, 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The brainstem is a compact, delicate structure. The surgeon must have good anatomical knowledge of the safe entry points to safely resect intrinsic lesions. Lesions located at the lateral midbrain surface are better approached through the lateral mesencephalic sulcus (LMS). The goal of this study was to compare the surgical exposure to the LMS provided by the subtemporal (ST) approach and the paramedian and extreme-lateral variants of the supracerebellar infratentorial (SCIT) approach. METHODS These 3 approaches were used in 10 cadaveric heads. The authors performed measurements of predetermined points by using a neuronavigation system. Areas of microsurgical exposure and angles of the approaches were determined. Statistical analysis was performed to identify significant differences in the respective exposures. RESULTS The surgical exposure was similar for the different approaches-369.8 ± 70.1 mm2 for the ST; 341.2 ± 71.2 mm2 for the SCIT paramedian variant; and 312.0 ± 79.3 mm2 for the SCIT extreme-lateral variant (p = 0.13). However, the vertical angular exposure was 16.3° ± 3.6° for the ST, 19.4° ± 3.4° for the SCIT paramedian variant, and 25.1° ± 3.3° for the SCIT extreme-lateral variant craniotomy (p < 0.001). The horizontal angular exposure was 45.2° ± 6.3° for the ST, 35.6° ± 2.9° for the SCIT paramedian variant, and 45.5° ± 6.6° for the SCIT extreme-lateral variant opening, presenting no difference between the ST and extreme-lateral variant (p = 0.92), but both were superior to the paramedian variant (p < 0.001). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. CONCLUSIONS The extreme-lateral SCIT approach had the smaller area of surgical exposure; however, these differences were not statistically significant. The extreme-lateral SCIT approach presented a wider vertical and horizontal angle to the LMS compared to the other craniotomies. Also, it provides a 90° trajectory to the sulcus that facilitates the intraoperative microsurgical technique.

Abstract
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac pathology which results from the fusion of two adjacent aortic valve cusps. It is associated with dilatation of the aorta, known as bicuspid valve-associated aortopathy or bicuspid aortopathy. Bicuspid aortopathy is progressive and is linked with adverse clinical events. Hence, frequent monitoring and early intervention with prophylactic surgical resection of the proximal aorta is often recommended. Over the past two decades resection strategies and surgical interventions have mainly been directed by surgeon and institution preferences. These practices have ranged from conservative to aggressive approaches based on aortic size and growth criteria. This strategy, however, may not best reflect the risks of important aortic events. A new set of guidelines was proposed for the treatment of bicuspid aortopathy. Herein, we will highlight the most recent findings pertinent to bicuspid aortopathy and its management in the context of a case presentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To review the Shamblin classification of carotid body paragangliomas (CBPs) and the role of intra-arterial stenting in their surgical management. METHODS Retrospective case series of 20 patients with 28 CBPs that were surgically resected at our center. Intra-arterial stenting was performed in Shamblin II and II classes. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 47.8 months. Five (17.9%) tumors were Shamblin class I, 15 (53.6%) were class II, and 8 (28.6%) were class III. Thirteen (68.4%) CBPs were associated with other paragangliomas. The internal carotid artery (ICA) was stented preoperatively in eight (28.6%) cases and occluded in four (14.3%) cases. The tumor extended to the jugular foramen in six cases (21.4%). Intraoperatively, there was an ICA injury in one case of Shamblin II CBP in the present era. CONCLUSIONS The proposed classification enables the clinician to plan the management of the ICA and the right approach. Stenting of the ICA gives a chance for complete tumor removal with arterial preservation.

Abstract
Brainstem cavernomas (BSCs) are angiographically occult, benign low flow vascular malformations that pose a significant surgical challenge due to their eloquent location. The present study includes an extensive review of the literature and three illustrative cases of BSC with emphasis on the timing of surgery: surgical approaches, usage of intraoperative monitoring, and complication avoidance. A systematic search was performed using the PubMed database was from January 1, 1999, to June 2018. The relevant articles were reviewed with particular attention to hemorrhage rates, timing of surgery, indications for surgery, surgical approaches, and outcome. Along with this, a retrospective analysis of three cases of symptomatic BSC, who were operated for the same, during the year 2018 in our institute was conducted. All the three patients presented with at least 1 episode of hemorrhage before surgery. Of these, one patient was operated immediately due to altered sensorium whereas the other two were operated after at least 4 weeks of the hemorrhagic episode. The patients who were operated in the subacute phase of bleed were seen to have liquefaction of hematoma, thus providing a good surgical demarcation and thereby reduced surgery-related trauma to the surrounding eloquent structures. Two patients improved neurologically during the immediate postoperative period, whereas one had transient worsening of neurological deficits during the immediate postoperative period in the form of additional cranial nerve palsies which completely improved on follow-up after 2 months. Radical resection is recommended in all patients with symptomatic BSCs. Surgery should be considered after the first or the second episode of hemorrhage as multiple rebleeds can cause exacerbation of deficits and sometimes mortality as well. Considering surgical timing, anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks or the subacute phase of the hemorrhage is considered appropriate. The aims of surgical intervention must be to improve preoperative function, minimize surgical morbidity and to reduce hemorrhagic rates. In spite of the significant surgical morbidity associated with BSCs, appropriate patient selection, meticulous surgical planning with adjuncts such as intraoperative monitoring and neuronavigation will go a long way in avoidance of major postoperative complications.

Abstract
Background Zygomatic osteotomy, an adjunct to middle cranial fossa (MCF) surgical approaches, improves the superior-inferior angle of approach and minimizes temporal lobe retraction. However, a decision-making algorithm for selective use of the zygomatic osteotomy and the impact of the zygomatic osteotomy on surgical complications have not been well documented. Objective We described an algorithm for deciding whether to use a zygomatic osteotomy in MCF surgery and evaluated complications associated with a zygomatic osteotomy. Methods A retrospective review of MCF cases over 11 years at our academic tertiary referral center was conducted. Demographic variables, tumor characteristics, surgical details, and postoperative complications were extracted. Results Of the 87 patients included, 15 (17%) received a zygomatic osteotomy. Surgical trajectory oriented from anterior to posterior (A-P) was significantly correlated with the use of the zygomatic osteotomy. Among the cases approached from A-P, we found (receiver-operating characteristic curve) that the cut-off tumor size that predicted a zygomatic osteotomy was 30 mm. Of the 87 cases included, 15 patients had a complication. The multivariate logistic regression model failed to reveal any significant correlation between complications and zygomatic osteotomies. Conclusions We found that the most important factor determining the use of a zygomatic osteotomy was anticipated trajectory. A-P approaches were most highly correlated with zygomatic osteotomy. Within those cases, a lesion size cut-off of 30 mm was the secondary predicting factor of zygomatic osteotomy use. The odds of suffering a surgical complication were not significantly increased by use of zygomatic osteotomy.

Abstract
This study aimed to summarize the clinical experiences and postoperative effects of microsurgical approaches for craniopharyngioma.A total of 183 craniopharyngioma patients who underwent microsurgical treatment since March 2009 to March 2015 in our hospital were included in current research. Surgical approaches were selected based on preoperative evaluations, including tumor locations, sizes, and growth patterns. Active measurements to manage water-electrolyte disorder and insipidus were taken for postoperative treatments. During the follow-up, patients were monitored for residual or recurrent tumor by postoperative contrast MRI scans done 1 to 3 months after surgery.The used surgical approaches were as follows: frontopterional approach (76 cases), anterior interhemispheric approach (58 cases), transcallosal approach (10 cases), transsphenoidal approach (15 cases), unilateral subfrontal approach (15 cases), and combined approaches (9 cases). Around 124 cases (72.7%) received total tumor resection, 37 patients (20.2%) underwent subtotal resection, and 13 patients (7.1%) underwent partial removal. No significant difference was found on the postoperative complications among the different microsurgical approaches (all, P > .05). A total of 111 cases had an intact pituitary stalk preservation and 26 cases had partially preserved stalks during surgery. Visual improvement was achieved in 54 patients and visual deterioration occurred in 22 cases. Postoperative insipidus appeared in 114 cases and water-electrolyte disorder occurred in 99 cases. The postsurgical follow-up ranged from 3 to 69 months with a mean duration of 27.3 months and 23 patients suffered recurrence.Based on careful preoperative evaluation, microsurgical treatments may be safe and effective approach to improve postoperative outcomes of craniopharyngioma patients.

Abstract
Background We aim to evaluate the transition process from open to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical segmentectomies in a regional thoracic surgical unit. Methods In a retrospective study from January 2013 to December 2015, we identified all anatomical segmentectomies performed in our unit. Pre, peri and postoperative data were compared between the three years (2013, 2014 and 2015) and according to operative approach. Thoracotomy after VATS intraoperative biopsy was considered a conversion for the purposes of the study. Results A total of 86 consecutive cases [56 females and 30 males, median age 70 years (range, 43 to 83 years); median FEV1 of 78% predicted (range, 41% to 126%)] were included. There was a significant change in the surgical approach with time. Fifty-two cases underwent VATS (73% via single-port) and 34 open surgeries, including nine conversions. There were no postoperative deaths in the VATS group and one in the open group. Operative outcomes were similar over time with no haemorrhagic events, equivalent R1 resection and nodal stations explored in all lymph node positive patients. In node negative cases however, open surgery was associated with more extensive mediastinal exploration. Patients in 2015 had a shorter hospital stay in comparison to those in previous years [median 4 days (range, 1-15 days) vs. median 6 days (range, 3-27 days), P=0.01]. There were no differences in the incidence of complications or readmissions to hospital over time. Conclusions The transition over a short period of time from open to single-port VATS segmentectomy has allowed us to significantly reduce postoperative hospital stay without compromising operative or postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Traumatic injuries to the skull base can involve critical neurovascular structures and present with symptoms and signs that must be recognized by physicians tasked with management of trauma patients. This article provides a review of skull base anatomy and outlines demographic features in skull base trauma. The manifestations of various skull base injuries, including CSF leaks, facial paralysis, anosmia, and cranial nerve injury, are discussed, as are appropriate diagnostic and radiographic testing in patients with such injuries. While conservative management is sometimes appropriate in skull base trauma, surgical access to the skull base for reconstruction of traumatic injuries may be required. A variety of specific surgical approaches to the anterior cranial fossa are discussed, including the classic anterior craniofacial approach as well as less invasive and newer endoscope-assisted approaches to the traumatized skull base.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate exposure of the proximal humerus is necessary to address atypical or complex proximal humerus fractures and orthopedic tumors. Surgical management may be difficult through existing approaches due to their limited nature and the delicate neurovascular anatomy of the shoulder. The deltoid lift, a previously described extensile approach, can be incorporated into the surgeon's armamentarium as an alternative exposure to the proximal humerus. The objective of this study was to quantify and compare the humeral exposure achieved through the deltoid lift with the standard direct lateral deltoid-splitting, anterolateral acromial, and deltopectoral approaches in terms of surface area and exposure of key anatomic landmarks. METHODS Each approach was performed a minimum of 8 times on 18 cadaveric specimens. After identifying landmarks, exposure area of exposed humerus was quantified using digital images and ImageJ software. RESULTS The deltoid lift yielded an average exposure area of 46 cm2. Comparison of the exposure area for the deltoid lift against each of the other approaches yielded statistical significance ( P < .01). The exposure provided was 2-folds greater than that of the next most extensive approach. All anatomic landmarks were directly visible through the deltoid lift as compared with the remaining approaches, through which only 1 landmark was directly visualized and only 2 of the 3 remaining were palpable through the approach. CONCLUSIONS The deltoid lift extensile surgical exposure to the proximal humerus provides the largest humeral exposure with the greatest visibility of landmarks relative to the 3 most widely utilized standard approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinicopathologic features, recurrence and survival rates, reproductive history, and treatment of patients with mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (mBOTs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of mBOT were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with borderline ovarian tumors other than mucinous type and concomitant invasive cancer were excluded. RESULTS A total of 75 patients were identified. Median age was 38 years. The most common symptom was pain (42.7%). Median CA-125 level was 23.5 IU/mL (range, 1-809 IU/mL). Median tumor size was 200 mm (range, 40-400 mm), and 6.7% of mBOTs were bilateral. Thirty-six (48%) patients underwent staging surgery. Two patients (5.9%) had nodal involvement. One patient received platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. One (1.3%) patient had recurrence. None of the patients died because of the ovarian tumor. A total of 43 patients had conservative surgery. CONCLUSION Prognosis of mBOTs is excellent, and fertility-sparing surgery should be considered in the reproductive age group. Furthermore, the necessity of staging surgery is controversial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitiligo is a depigmenting disease characterized by episodes of stability and activity without a fixed sequence, and active phases demonstrate immune attacks toward vulnerable melanocytes. Epithelial grafts were introduced to treat recalcitrant vitiligo patches aiming to provide new generations of melanocytes. AIMS The aim of study was to evaluate the possible permanency of succeeded epithelial grafts during a coming activity episode. METHODS This study included 20 nonsegmental vitiligo cases. They were epithelial grafted, success was maintained with the use of UV sessions for a year, and further follow-up was allowed until new phases of activity developed. RESULTS The grafted areas, in all cases, were spared during the activity episodes in spite of the development of new depigmented lesions in other parts of skin neighboring the grafted areas or in remote sites. CONCLUSION The permanency of epithelial grafts in spite of disease reactivity is a good sign and magnifies the value of surgical approaches in management of vitiligo. New genetically different melanocytes should have been provided and were able to resist the new immune attacks in spite of the yielding of other skin melanocytes.

Abstract
An ever-increasing number of adult and pediatric disorders have been shown to be influenced or caused by airway reflux. This has become a controversial and complicated aspect of medicine that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Evidence indicates that it is not only the acidic components of gastric refluxate that injure extraesophageal tissues but also the nonacidic components, such as pepsin and bile. There is a realization that proton pump inhibitors will not be effective when nonacidic components of refluxate are causing the problem. New in vitro and in vivo models for the study of airway reflux and new therapeutic and surgical approaches are discussed in this review article.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Reference: Ramski DE, Kanj WW, Franklin CC, Baldwin KD, Ganley TJ. Anterior cruciate ligament tears in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis of nonoperative versus operative treatment. Am J Sports Med. 2014;42(11):2769-2776. Clinical Questions: In pediatric patients, does early operative treatment of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury result in decreased knee instability compared with delayed or nonoperative treatment? DATA SOURCES This review focused on the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. The following query searches were used: ACL or anterior cruciate ligament and young or child or children or pediatric or immature. Dates searched were not specified. A separate search was also conducted of abstracts published between 2009 and 2011 from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons; American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine; International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery, and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine; European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery, and Arthroscopy; American Orthopaedic Association; Arthroscopy Association of North America; Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America; and American Academy of Pediatrics conferences. STUDY SELECTION Available studies were included only if they were written in English; were of level 1, 2, or 3 evidence (grading taxonomy not stated); were cohort designs that compared nonoperative and operative treatments; involved an early versus delayed ACL reconstruction that could be prospective or retrospective; and reported primary outcome interest measures. Animal studies, basic science studies, case series, reviews, commentaries, and editorials were excluded from the review. DATA EXTRACTION A systematic assessment tool, Guide to Community Preventive Services: Systematic Reviews and Evidence-Based Recommendations, was used by 2 of the authors to independently grade the quality of each study that met the inclusion criteria. The tool focused on 6 areas: intervention and study description, sampling, measurement, analysis, interpretation of results, and other execution factors. This tool helped to ensure consistency, reduce bias, and improve the validity and reliability of preventive health care studies. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Six studies compared nonoperative with operative treatment, and 5 studies compared early reconstruction (open physes) with delayed reconstruction (closed physes). Studies in this meta-analysis consisted of the following: four level-3 prospective studies, four level-3 retrospective studies, one level-2 retrospective study, one level-3 case-control study, and one level-3 study with both prospective and retrospective data collection. All of the studies included data related to patient demographics, treatment interventions, follow-up duration, presence of any meniscal symptoms, time to return to sport participation, patient-reported outcomes (International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC], Lysholm, or Tegner scores), the need for a second surgical procedure, and any posttreatment problems. MAIN RESULTS Of those who chose the nonoperative route, 75% reported instability, whereas only 13.6% of those who had surgery reported instability. These data also showed that nonoperative or delayed-operative patients were 33.7 times more likely to report instability than the early operative group. Those who chose the nonoperative route had a 12 times greater risk (odds ratio = 12.2, 95% confidence interval = 1.55, 96.3) of developing a meniscal tear after the initial injury. Three studies included in the meta-analysis reported return to sport status, but only 2 studies provided adequate data for both operative and nonoperative patients. In 1 study, 92% of operative patients were able to return to sport, but only 43.75% of nonoperative patients were able to do so. The second study reported that all operative and nonoperative patients were able to return to the same level of sport after injury. Of those in the early operative group, 6% required a repeat surgical intervention for either an ACL rerupture or a meniscal tear, and 19% of those who initially chose nonoperative treatment eventually needed surgery to repair the ACL or meniscus. Findings favor the early operative group over the delayed operative and nonoperative groups based on IKDC scores. One study reported a significant difference in operative patients, with an IKDC mean score of 95 compared with 87 in the nonoperative group. Similarly, a different study reported a mean score of 94.6 in the early operative group compared with 82.4 in the delayed operative group and was stated to have met the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). The MCID was not met for the Lysholm and Tegner scores between operative and nonoperative patients. CONCLUSIONS The results of this meta-analysis favor early operative treatment for pediatric patients with ACL tears over delayed or nonoperative treatment. Early operative treatment is initiated shortly after the injury, while the patient is still skeletally immature and the growth plates are open. Current evidence suggests that early ACL reconstruction will result in less knee instability and a more likely return to the preinjury activity level without affecting the growth plates or causing growth disturbances.

Abstract
The creation of arteriovenous fistulae and the use of arteriovenous grafts are a vital component in the treatment of patients undergoing dialysis. For many patients in this population, these accesses represent the permanent solution to their dialysis needs. Understanding the basic anatomy of the most common accesses used, as well as initial treatment of many underlying causes of access failure is vital for any interventionalist performing such procedures. This article outlines the most common approaches to surgically placed accesses used for renal replacement therapy, as well as the basics of interventional approaches used to treat the most common abnormalities causing their dysfunction.
