Efficacy and safety of surgical decompression in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy: results of the AOSpine North America prospective multi-center study.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2013
BACKGROUND Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the leading cause of spinal cord dysfunction worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical decompression on functional, quality-of-life, and disability outcomes at one year ...

Hyperekplexia relieved by surgical decompression of the cervicomedullary region

Neurosurgery, 1983
Abstract Hyperekplexia in an 8-year-old boy with myelodysplasia was greatly improved by surgical decompression of the cervicomedullary region. The possible implications for treatment and for understanding the cause of this syndrome are discussed.

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.

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. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a widely used surgical approach for the decompression of the affected root entry zone (REZ) of the fifth cranial nerve.

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

Confirmation of Surgical Decompression to Relieve Migraine Headaches

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2008
Surgical decompression of various trigger sites has been shown by two authors to relieve migraine headaches. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical decompression of multiple migraine trigger sites in a clinical practice setting, and to compare the results to those previously published.A retrospective, descriptive ...

Timing of Surgical Decompression for Cauda Equina Syndrome

World Neurosurgery, 2019
Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a potentially devastating spinal condition requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. This study examines the relationship between timing of surgery and patient outcomes such as mortality and total complications, and longitudinal trends in timing of operative treatment over the years 2000-2014.This study considered ...

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 ...

Surgical options in ICH including decompressive craniectomy

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2007
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15 to 20% of strokes. The condition carries a higher morbidity and mortality than occlusive stroke. Despite considerable research effort, no therapeutic modality either medical or surgical has emerged with clear evidence of benefit other than in rare aneurysmal cases.

The shoulder impingement syndrome: The results of surgical decompression

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 1994
Forty patients (41 operated shoulders) with subacromial impingement resistant to conservative therapy underwent acomioplasty and were evaluated 6 to 142 months after surgery. Patients requiring rotator cuff repair were excluded from the study. With the UCLA scoring system, results were excellent or good in 28 (68%), fair in five (12%), and poor in ...
