Source: Alomari, S., et al. Implementation of Minimally Invasive Brain Tumor Resection in Rodents for High Viability Tissue Collection. J. Vis. Exp. (2022)This video demonstrates the use of a minimally invasive resection system (MIRS) to excise tumor tissue from an anesthetized mouse implanted with a tumor. The procedure involves securing the mouse onto a stereotactic frame, reopening the previous surgical site to access the brain, and inserting a specialized cannula that utilizes suction and a...

Microscopic Cyst Resection for the Treatment of Patients Diagnosed with Epididymal Cyst

11.6K
Here, we present a protocol to treat patients diagnosed with an epididymal cyst using microscopic cyst resection. Based on microscopic manipulation, a largely improved visualization of the subtle tissue structures of the epididymis was obtained, so the cyst could be clearly dissected apart and completely removed...

Endoscopic Septoplasty with Limited Two-line Resection: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Septal Deviation

17.8K
Endoscopic septoplasty is a time-honored surgical procedure with multiple variations. This paper focuses on a step-by-step surgical approach to perform a modified septoplasty procedure known as limited two-line resection. This surgical technique can be applied to correct a deviated nasal septum in the absence of an external nasal...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Lumbar synovial cysts arise from facet capsule degeneration, affecting up to 10% of symptomatic patients.
  • Surgical resection is often necessary when conservative management fails.
  • Traditional ipsilateral resection may destabilize the spine by requiring facet complex removal.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old female presented with refractory left leg pain and weakness, indicative of lumbar synovial cyst.
  • Conservative treatments including physical therapy and epidural injections were ineffective.
  • A minimally invasive contralateral approach was chosen over traditional decompression and fusion.

Findings:

  • The contralateral technique using tubular retractors avoids facet disruption and minimizes soft-tissue trauma.
  • This approach enhances visualization of the cyst-dura interface, particularly in the lateral recess.
  • It reduces the difficulty in dissecting the cyst wall and lowers the risk of durotomies.

Implications:

  • Minimally invasive contralateral resection offers a safer alternative for lumbar synovial cysts.
  • Preserving the facet complex through this technique can prevent further spinal destabilization.
  • Improved visualization aids in complete cyst removal and potentially better patient outcomes.
