Gamma knife (GK) thalamotomy has been used as a treatment option for essential tremor (ET). Numerous studies on GK use in ET treatment have reported more varied responses and complication rates....
Data from 27 patients with ET who underwent GK thalamotomy were retrospectively analyzed. The Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor, handwriting, and spiral drawing were evaluated. Postop...
The mean age at GK thalamotomy was 78.1 ± 4.2 years. The mean follow-up period was 32.5 ± 19.4 months. The preoperative postural tremor, handwriting, and spiral drawing scores were 3.4 ± 0.6, 3.3 ± 1....
GK thalamotomy is an efficient procedure for treating ET. Careful treatment planning is necessary to reduce complication rates. The prediction of radiation complications will increase the safety and e...
Rubber band ligation (RBL) is a widely accepted intervention for the treatment of haemorrhoids. However, post procedure pain is a common complaint. The aim of this study was to determine whether the a...
This study was a prospective, single-blinded randomised controlled trial. Patients were recruited from colorectal clinics in two Australian hospitals between 2018-2019. Patients randomised to the inte...
At 1 h post-procedure, patient reported pain scores were significantly lower in the LA group compared to the control group (p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in pain scores between the ...
LA to the haemorrhoid pedicle post RBL may significantly reduce early post procedure pain without any increased risk of adverse effects....
We report a case of a 23-year-old man who presented with progressive asymmetric weakness and numbness in his distal extremities over 4 months, with initial symptoms starting days after a coronavirus 2...
Previous studies have demonstrated various groin-related nerve and soft tissue complications in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with a perineal post....
To prospectively compare groin-related nerve and soft tissue complications between patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with and without the use of a perineal post....
Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2....
A prospective single-surgeon cohort study was performed on all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy by the senior author between January 2020 and March 2022. A post-free hip distraction system was used...
A total of 87 patients were included in the study who underwent hip arthroscopy: 53 with a perineal post and 34 without. No differences were found between the post and postless groups in terms of age ...
Postless hip arthroscopy resulted in no risk of groin-related complications as compared with traditional hip arthroscopy with a perineal post....
In addition to a range of functional impairments seen in individuals with a lower-limb amputation, this population is at a substantially elevated risk of falls. Studies postulate that the lack of sens...
The purpose of this study is to determine how sensory impairments in the lower extremities relate to performance with common clinical functional measures of balance and gait in individuals with a lowe...
In 20 individuals with lower-limb amputation (AMP) and 20 age and gender-matched able-bodied controls (CON), we evaluated the effects of sensory integrity (pressure, proprioception, and vibration) on ...
There were significant differences between AMP and CON groups for reliance on vision for static balance in the SOT, MCT, and FGA (p < 0.01). Despite differences across groups, there were no significan...
Despite being able to detect differences between able-bodied individuals and individuals with an amputation, these functional measures cannot distinguish between levels of impairment within participan...
We present a case of a patient visiting the ear, nose and throat department with a parotid gland mass, ptosis and facial numbness. CT imaging confirmed a mass in the parotid gland; however, it also re...
To examine the relationship between patterns of orbital floor fracture around the infraorbital groove and development of infraorbital nerve hypoesthesia....
This retrospective, observational study included 200 patients (200 sides) of pure orbital floor fracture with or without medial orbital wall fracture. Data on the presence or absence of infraorbital n...
Infraorbital nerve hypoesthesia was found in 72 patients (36.0%). A fracture extended into or laterally to the infraorbital groove in 86.2% of patients with infraorbital nerve hypoesthesia, while a fr...
This study indicates that patients with orbital floor fracture extending into or laterally to the infraorbital groove have a high risk of infraorbital nerve hypoesthesia, compared to those with orbita...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lidocaine for patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in patients who underwent open hepatectomy....
A retrospective analysis....
A total of 281 patients who underwent open hepatectomy from July 2018 to December 2018 were included. All patients were assigned into two groups: the lidocaine group (PCIA consisted of lidocaine, sufe...
There were no significant differences between the characteristics, duration of surgery and anesthesia, and recovery of postoperative activity between the two groups. In the first 3 days after the oper...
The addition of lidocaine in PCIA was not beneficial to improve the pain during activities and increased the incidence of perioral numbness and dizziness....
In order to reduce surgical scars and the risk of neurovascular injury for the treatment of terrible triad injuries of the elbow (TTI), minimally invasive and better therapeutic effect approaches are ...
This study retrospectively analyzed 76 patients treated for TTI from January 2009 to December 2020 (MPA: n = 44; CLMA: n = 32). Treatment involved plate and screw fixation or Steinmann pin fixation fo...
Both groups of patients attained a satisfactory MEPS after the operation. The MEPS (MPA: 96.82 ± 6.04 vs CLMA: 96.56 ± 5.51) was not significantly different between the two groups (p > 0.05). However,...
The MPA through the space of the proximal radioulnar joint has more prominent advantages than the CLMA for TTI, including single scar, clear exposure, good fixation, lower risk of neurovascular injury...
The Lichtenstein hernioplasty has long been seen as the gold standard for inguinal hernia repair. Unfortunately, this repair is often associated with chronic pain, up to 10-35%. Therefore, several new...
A single-center randomized controlled trial was carried out between 2015 and 2020. A total of 300 patients with unilateral inguinal hernia were enrolled and randomized to the TIPP- or TEP technique. P...
A total of 300 patients were randomized (150 per group). After a follow-up of 12 months, we observed significantly less postoperative chronic groin pain, chronic pain at exertion, wound hypoesthesia, ...
We showed that the TEP has a favorable outcome compared to the TIPP procedure, leading to less postoperative pain and wound complications, whereas recurrence rates and reoperations were equal in both ...
