since having the surgery while a few have experienced only isolated episodes. Our initial indications are that this is a really effective therapy said Wake Forest Baptist neurosurgeon Adrian Laxton M d. who performed the operation on Vandyke.
The laser method is a much less invasive alternative to conventional surgery. That type of procedure is usually a daylong operation
Based on what we've seen so far it's at least as effective as open surgery is far superior in terms of risk
But most people with epilepsy don't need surgery as seizures can be controlled by medication in approximately 60 percent of all patients.

Surgery is the most successful treatment but without life modification--portion control healthy choices and exercise--even surgery will not be successful in the long term.
In other words patients who have undergone bariatric surgery can put weight back on if they haven't changed their habits.
We offer a monthly post-op support group--group therapy so to speak --and most of those patients do really well''Fernandez said.

#Advantages, potential of computer-guided spinal surgeryin a series of research studies Cedars-Sinai spinal surgeons show that a new method of computer-guided spine surgery is beneficial for spinal reconstruction
and the need for follow-up surgeries they write. Computer-guided surgical navigation technology delivers on quality
while a patient is in surgery. The images are transferred to a computer which displays them on overhead monitors that allow precise tracking of surgical instruments as surgeons insert screws for reconstruction
and perform minimally-invasive surgery. This approach represents a major leap forward for instrumented spine surgery said Terrence T. Kim MD an orthopedic spine surgeon in the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and expert in the computer-guided navigation field.
We're looking at the future. Joining Drs. Johnson and Kim as study co-authors are Doniel Drazin MD a senior resident in the Department of Neurosurgery and Robert S. Pashman MD a clinical associate professor and orthopedic spine surgeon at the Cedars
and computer-aided system used during minimally invasive surgery increased the accuracy of screw placement into vertebral pedicle bones.
A third study determined that the image-guided technique can be useful for other minimally invasive procedures including thoracic endoscopic spine surgery to remove tumors infections
The final two articles offer an overview of computer-guided surgery of the spine including its use in revision
or redo spine surgeries that are often the most complex; and the potential future use of robotic spine surgery with computer navigation.

Citrus surgery? Doctors refine their craft on clementinesyou know what s a great tool for practicing minimally invasive surgery?
Citrus fruit, according to Pamela Andreatta of the University of Michigan Medical school. NPR reports. Laparoscopic surgery is performed with a camera
and surgical instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the body. The traditional model of learning by watching then doing is putting young doctors in operating rooms before they've mastered basic skills,
And while there are surgical simulators on the market oe including high-tech digital systems offering a virtual reality oe she believes the skills crucial to laparoscopic surgery might be taught better with something simple  something like a clementine.
The minimally invasive surgery specialists scored the highest, by far. Residents and nonsurgical faculty scored significantly lower.
The clementine is one of several dozen low-cost simulations Andreatta has developed for teaching minimally invasive surgery.
Futurist Fixes 1. Telemedicine and Robotic Surgery. As originally covered in the FUTURIST: Allison Okamura of the Johns hopkins university Department of Mechanical engineering says the real potential of robotic surgery
or rather computer-enhanced surgery is to reduce the impact of surgeries (make them less invasive,
less costly) and improve patients health. Haptic systems are a particularly promising area of research in the field of robotics.
This sort of research will enable surgeons to better perform minimally invasive surgeries. Surgical robots can also photograph,
after the fact. oewhen you do assisted robot surgery, you re already tracking the tools that are inside the patient,
