Open DOI
Development of a novel continuous fluid-filled cadaveric model for full endoscopic intraventricular surgical simulation: anatomic demonstration
Purpose: Realistic body donor anatomical simulation of intraventricular neuroendoscopy remains limited because ventricular collapse following cerebrospinal fluid loss prevents preservation of physiological ventricular anatomy. We develop...

Targeting health-related quality of life issues not found with functional outcome measures a year after aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage in a Swedish national cohort
Purpose: Outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is often devastating with life time issues also for independent survivors. We aimed to identify health related quality of life (HRQoL) issues in this favorable functional o...

Novel 3D volumetric and gallium casting assessment of anterior clinoidectomy for microsurgical clipping of posterior communicating artery aneurysms: an anatomical laboratory study
Background: Microsurgical treatment of dysmorphic, wide-neck posterior communicating artery aneurysms may require anterior clinoidectomy to improve exposure, proximal control, and clip maneuverability. Although many posterior communicati...

Open DOI
Endoscopic versus microscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating craniofacial pain disorder commonly caused by neurovascular compression (NVC). Microscopic microvascular decompression (MI-MVD) remains the gold-standard surgical treatment; however...

A screw-anchored stencil for responsive neurostimulation craniectomy: a randomized crossover bench study
Background: The responsive neurostimulation (RNS) pulse generator is implanted in a craniectomy that must match its ferrule. The outline is traced around a hand-held template that moves freely on the convex skull. A poor outline is disco...

Chronic subdural hematoma postoperative thickness and patient outcome – is 10 mm a relevant cut-off measure? A post hoc analysis of the FINISH trial
Background: Postoperative chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) thickness ≥ 10 mm has been used as an outcome measure in clinical trials. However, the relevance of this radiological threshold for patient outcome and reoperation risk remains u...
