This report represents the first known case of a gastric schwannoma in a patient subsequent to a gastric stapling and partitioning procedure for morbid obesity. The submucosal tumor found in the collapsed distal portion of the stomach was merely an incidental finding and it appeared that all of the
Determine whether elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with postoperative complications after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery.Retrospective case series.Tertiary referral center.Two hundred Objective: To evaluate whether increased body mass index (BMI), age, or frailty influence vestibular schwannoma (VS) short-term surgical morbidity.
Methods: The 2005-2017
Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumours arising from Schwann cells. Presacral schwannomas are rare with only case report and short case series being reported in literature. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice for these rare tumours. Approach to surgical resection depends on
Resection of large presacral schwannomas can present a challenge. The posterior approach is commonly associated with coccygeal disarticulation, partial sacral resection, and muscular disarticulation, which can all result in significant morbidity. Minimally invasive surgery may obviate some of the
Estradiol and progestin receptors were studied in 20 patients with neuraxial Schwann cell tumors, and their presence was correlated to the clinicopathologic features and the amount of preoperative corticosteroid therapy. Based on an arbitrary cutoff value of 200 fmol per gram of tumor as indicative
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major global health issue associated with significant co-morbidities. Regarding its treatment, the use of bariatric procedures is increasing due to their efficacy in weight reduction and improved management of the associated medical conditions. Although comprehensive
Objective To characterize current vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery outcomes with a nationwide database and identify factors associated with increased complications and prolonged hospital course. Study Design Retrospective review utilizing the University HealthSystem Consortium national inpatient
BACKGROUND
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a well-recognized complication after surgical resection of vestibular schwannomas and is associated with a number of secondary complications, including readmission and meningitis.
OBJECTIVE
To identify risk factors for and timing of 30-d readmission with
OBJECTIVE
The following study was conducted to identify risk factors for a postoperative CSF leak after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery.
METHODS
The authors reviewed a prospectively maintained database of all patients who had undergone resection of a VS at the Mayo Clinic between September 1999
BACKGROUND
Single pelvic schwannomas are rare tumor arising from the retrorectal, lateral or obturatory space. Laparoscopic approach to schwannoma located in lateral pelvic space has been previously described only in one case report. We present a case of a successful laparoscopic resection of pelvic
BACKGROUND
Obesity increases the risk for a number of solid malignant tumours. However, it is not clear whether body mass index (BMI) and height are associated with the risk of primary tumours of the central nervous system (CNS).
METHODS
In a large population study (The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study
The purpose of this study was to systematically assess and synthesize the world literature on risk factors for the onset and natural progression of hydrocephalus, thereby providing a basis for policy makers to identify appropriate risk management measures to mitigate the burden of disease in Canada.
BACKGROUND
Textile products commonly used in surgery (e.g., sponges or gauze) have been known to cause complications after spinal surgery. Associated complications usually arise months or even years after the primary surgery. In case of spine surgery, these bodies are often detected during
We report a null mutation in the first exon of the human dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene. The mutation is predicted to result in a truncated non-functional protein and is the first natural nonsense mutation found in a human dopamine receptor gene. It occurs with a frequency of about 2% in the
