Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Odontoidectomy surgical approaches vary, impacting surgery time, complications, feeding, and hospital stay. This systematic review compares outcomes from transoral, transnasal, and transcervical methods for craniovertebral junction lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Craniovertebral Junction Surgery

Background:

  • Odontoidectomy is a common procedure for craniovertebral junction (CVJ) lesions.
  • Multiple surgical approaches exist, including transoral, transnasal, and transcervical routes.
  • The choice of approach may influence patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and compare the outcomes of odontoidectomies performed via different surgical approaches.
  • To analyze literature data on the effectiveness and complications associated with each surgical route.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Literature search was performed on PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar databases using the keyword "odontoidectomy".

Systematic Assessment of Mammalian Skull Specimens for Dental and Temporomandibular Joint Pathology

Published on: August 22, 2022

  • Data from 128 studies involving 688 patients were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The transoral approach was utilized in 446 patients, transnasal in 192, and transcervical in 50.
    • Analysis revealed significant differences in surgery duration, complication rates, oral feeding initiation, and hospital stay based on the surgical approach.
    • The transoral approach was the most frequently reported method.

    Conclusions:

    • The surgical approach significantly influences key outcomes of odontoidectomy.
    • Consideration of the approach is crucial for optimizing patient recovery and minimizing complications.
    • Further research may elucidate optimal approach selection for specific CVJ pathologies.
