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.

Surgical shunts and tips for variceal decompression in the 1990s

Surgery, 2000
In the 1990s, liver transplantations and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) have become the most common methods to decompress portal hypertension. This center has continued to use surgical shunts for variceal bleeding in good-risk patients who continue to bleed through endoscopic and pharmacologic treatment. This article reports this

Surgical results of orbital decompression for malignant exophthalmos

The Laryngoscope, 1974
AbstractDuring the past 75 years, several procedures for surgical correction of malignant exophthalmos have been described. In 1948, Ogura and Walsh first employed the transantral approach for decompression of the orbital contents into the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses.

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.

Surgical results of orbital decompression for malignant exophthalmos

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1978
In summary, we have presented the epidemiology, pathology, clinical classes, diagnostic techniques and surgical techniques employed, and the results in 220 patients who have undergone transantral orbital decompression for malignant exophthalmos. Reduction of proptosis up to 12 mm has been obtained.

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.

Surgical Decompression for Pituitary Apoplexy

2013
The dramatic events surrounding pituitary apoplexy are discussed. These include the compression and malfunction of cranial nerves II, II, IV and IV, as well as endocrine issues, prostration and headache. The indications for surgery are described, in particular to highlight the need for stabilisation of the patient before any surgical intervention is ...

Surgical Decompression of Blowout Fracture

1978
Treatment of blowout fracture is the repositioning of orbital contents and the reconstruction of the orbital floor. The complete repositioning of orbital contents between fractured bone fragments is not so easy. It is rather difficult, especially when the fracture lies in a deep area of the orbital floor and spreads out wide, even under the operation ...

SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION OF THE COLON FOR MALIGNANT OBSTRUCTION

Archives of Surgery, 1950
ACUTE obstruction of the colon is reported not to be common; however, my colleagues and I have had a sufficient number of cases to form certain opinions and to standardize an effective technic for decompression. The frequency of acute colonic obstruction is difficult to determine.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Decompression of Occipital Nerves

Journal of Visualized Experiments
Occipital neuralgia (ON) stands out as one of the most distressing forms of headache disorders, distinguished by persistent pain at the base of the skull, recurring occipital headaches, and scalp dysesthesia or allodynia. ON is notorious for its unrelenting agony, severely impacting the lives of those afflicted.
