Comprehensive Neurosurgical Intervention Protocols

For the analysis, the interventions were divided into subgroups: (I) spinal pathology (degenerative diseases of the spine, lesions of the spine), (II) lesions of the brain (any supra- or infratentorial brain tumours, abscesses, cysts or similar pathologies), (III) ventriculoperitoneal drainage, (IV) cranioplasty, (V) procedures in functional neurosurgery (spinal cord stimulation, battery replacement, vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation), (VI) vascular pathology (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations…) and (VII) endonasal endoscopy (pituitary adenoma, Rathke’s cyst, clivus chordoma, craniopharyngioma). Any procedure that required immediate surgical intervention was considered vital or emergency surgery. This included any form of acute cerebral haemorrhage (subdural, epidural or intracerebral), placement of external ventricular drainage or intracranial pressure monitoring, decompressive craniectomy and removal of a chronic subdural haematoma, or vital spinal disease.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
