Surgical displacement of risk organs to improve stereotactic radiotherapy for liver tumors.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Precision irradiation may cure some liver malignancies, but adjacent stomach and colon may interfere with the delivery of the desired high doses due to the risk for serious side effects. METHODS AND RESULTS: Preferably ... Read more...

Feasibility study of three-nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein procedure for inguinal hernia.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Inguinal nerve identification during open inguinal hernia repair is associated with less chronic postoperative pain. However, most Dutch surgeons do not identify all three inguinal nerves when carrying out this procedure. The aim of this ... Read more...

Transcricothyroid electromyographic monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To determine the usefulness of intraoperative nerve monitoring using an electrode placed in the midline through the cricothyroid membrane. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective records review. METHODS: Patients of the otolaryngology ... Read more...
