A recent study in Neurosurgery Publications showed that early repeat resection (ERR) achieving ≥95% extent of resection within 8 weeks of initial surgery results in similar oncological outcomes to upfront ≥NTR in a case-control–matched analysis NS Tumor Section journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/a…

8 AVM resections last month. Removing brain arteriovenous malformations remains the “iron man” event of vascular neurosurgery: complex anatomy, ferocious flow, ever-present threat of bleeding, risk to critical structures, tough surgery. Good AVM surgery is the mark of great

I think of spinal cord as a giant nerve made up mostly of axons, which firms up cord tissue & helps cavernomas peel way from adjacent cord more cleanly than from softer brain. Occasionally, caverns act like studs that adhere to cord, making it harder to establish the separation

In this operative video, Aaron Cohen-Gadol, MD demonstrates the retromastoid approach for resection of a cerebellopontine angle epidermoid tumor. Gentle mobilization of the cerebellum exposed the epidermoid tumor through the arachnoid layers of the cerebellopontine angle. The tumor

Life throws problems at you for two reasons: to build your power or to block bigger disasters. Either way—you win.

A new multi-institutional study led by Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon gelareh-zadeh, reveals that high activity in a gene called TERT can predict whether a tumor is more likely to recur quickly — even if it appears low-grade. mayocl.in/45MuhKY
