TRANSECTION OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE IN THE RAT - NEUROANATOMICAL STUDY AND EXPERIMENTAL MODEL.

Acta chirurgiae plasticae·2020

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Stereotactic Surgery
  • Neuroanatomy

Background:

  • Stereotactic callosotomy is a surgical procedure involving the transection of the corpus callosum.
  • Accurate and controlled cutting of commissural pathways is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new stereotactic surgical technique for callosotomy called circular callosotomy.
  • To describe the methodology and instrumentation for performing this novel procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilizes the Riechert-Mundinger string electrode for the procedure.
  • The technique involves protruding the electrode through a side window and rotating it to cut commissural pathways.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is employed for post-operative anatomical assessment.

Main Results:

  • The circular callosotomy method allows for controlled cutting of commissural pathways.
  • The use of the Riechert-Mundinger electrode enables precise transection.
  • MRI scanning provides effective anatomical verification of the surgical outcome.

Conclusions:

  • Circular callosotomy represents a new, precise method for stereotactic callosotomy.
  • The technique offers controlled transection of brain pathways.
  • MRI is a valuable tool for confirming the anatomical results of this procedure.
