Early surgical decompression in the management of electrical injuries

The American Journal of Surgery, 1982
Abstract Eighty patients with electrical injuries admitted to the University of Utah Intermountain Burn Center in the last 5.5 years were reviewed. Early surgical decompression with fasciotomy and sequential wound debridement appear to result in a low amputation rate and conservation of limb length.

Process benchmarking appraisal of surgical decompression of spinal cord following traumatic cervical spinal cord injury: opportunities to reduce delays in surgical management.

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013
Prior pre-clinical and clinical studies indicate that early decompression of the spinal cord (≤ 24 h post-trauma) may have benefits regarding clinical outcomes and neurological recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). This study examines the benchmarking

Microvascular decompression in the surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia

Neurosurgical Review, 1995
The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying trigeminal neuralgia are not clearly understood and several therapeutic modalities have been advocated.

Surgical Decompression for Thyroid Eye Disease

2011
Orbital decompression surgery is designed to restore the normal volume relationship between the orbital soft tissue and bony volume, thereby reducing orbital pressure, proptosis, and, when present, compressive optic neuropathy. Numerous surgical techniques have been described to achieve these goals, including removal of orbital fat and one or all of ...
