This excellent presentation provides a great deal of insight into the strategy which supports the surgical process. The descriptions are at a level which is both broad and detailed enough to support someone who is not trained, but has watched a few of the CZcams surgery videos. Which means it is helpful to a VS patient considering a surgery option. Awesome!
This video is useful for someone who has recently has a partial resection, with minimal nerve damage some haemorrhaging during surgery . 14 hours in Theater followed By NICCU. Doing much better better than was expected at home with working hard with a neuro physical therapist and speach therapist. I had retro sig in November home 6 days post surgery. Went from choking and stopping breathing in my sleep. Constant Hiccups . Unable to walk more than 5 steps. Used a wheel chair or walking sticks. Incontinence issues. Tinnitus to having a much better quality of life. Double vision post op was hard to deal with took 2 months to calm down. Stereotactic MRI planning very soon. Working hard to rehabilitate my body and brain. Short term memory is still FUBAR. I'm Playing piano. Japanese written and spoken language. Spaced repetition learning works well over longer periods of time Moving as much as is possible.The Neurosurgeons put in the work rehabilitation is up to the patient. Don't give up! Hoping to make my Neurosurgeons proud of my progress. Thanks to them I'm still here. Pathology report was not great. Will be fighting anything the remainder of the first Tumour throws at me and the 2nd Tumour. Radiation therapy next. Good luck to all those in this situation. Keep positive. Bless all the Nurological teams. You are amazing people. Absolute Hero's.
How are you doing after the retro sigmoidoscopy crainitotomy? Hope recovery is going well. I've got speach and language therapy saying I now have acquired dyslexia. Still trying to find the reasons to smile. Don't feel anything like my former self. Nerve damage. Progress went fast then slowed down
@@BrainSpineGroup My recommendation is to do safety burhole also draining csf from firamen magnun and pontomedullary cister if CP cistern is obsecured by tumor plus tumor exicision will resolve HCP ...one think can be consider post EVD should be kept at safety burhole for some days and remove if Hydrocephalus resolve completely...

Nice video!
Really good details...Thank you
Our pleasure - glad you enjoyed the video!
very helpful video thank you ..
I am having a Retrosigmoid Craniotomy on 6/9/22... im trying to understand as much as I can prepping myself.
I had this type of surgery 8 weeks ago was very successful and returning to work next week had an excellent recovery.
Thanks for sharing! We hope you have been recovering well!
Hi did you have your surgery and are you recovering well
How are you doing after the retro sigmoidoscopy crainitotomy? Hope recovery is going well. I've got speach and language therapy saying I now have acquired dyslexia. Still trying to find the reasons to smile. Don't feel anything like my former self. Nerve damage. Progress went fast then slowed down
Will Putting EVD in post fossa mass causes upward herniation of cerebellum ??
Generally speaking, yes that is a primary risk that needs to be accounted for in treatment planning.
@@BrainSpineGroup
Then whats the best option u think for treating Hydrocephalus in a patient suffering from
vest schawanoma ??
@@Dr-789 sounds like it just needs to come out i.e. open surgery. Hard to say anything definitively in the vacuum of CZcams though.

Of course you can Put EVD in Post Fossa masses, the Drainage Volume has to be kept Low top prevent upward herniation...
Load of unnecessary info... can be more succinct and to the point.....
I beg to differ. For someone who is just starting out it’s fantastic.
Sorry! We have tons of different videos for different learners, hope you find a better one.
Thanks!
