Intra-Operative Ultrasound in the Surgery of Insulinomas
Insulinoma is the commonest endocrine pancreatic tumour which causes profound effects due to hypoglycaemia. Successful excision is the treatment of choice. Pre-operative localisation is frequently difficult. CT scanning is of little use but percutaneous transhepatic portal vein catheterisation and venous sampling may be successful (1). Many patients are explored without pre-operative localisati...
متن کاملIntra-operative ultrasound-based augmented reality guidance for laparoscopic surgery
In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon must operate with a limited field of view and reduced depth perception. This makes spatial understanding of critical structures difficult, such as an endophytic tumour in a partial nephrectomy. Such tumours yield a high complication rate of 47%, and excising them increases the risk of cutting into the kidney's collecting system. To overcome these challenges,...
متن کاملIntra-operative 3D ultrasound augmentation
We introduce an automated and accurate system for registering pre-operative 3D MR and CT images with intraoperative 3D ultrasound images based on the vessels visible in both. The clinical goal is to guide the radio-frequency ablation (RFA) of liver lesions using percutaneous ultrasound even when the lesions are not directly visible using ultrasound. The lesions locations and desired RFA sites a...
متن کاملEpileptogenic temporal cavernous malformations: Operative strategies and postoperative seizure outcomes
Operative treatment of epileptogenic cavernous malformations (CM) continues under debate. Most studies focus on surgery for supratentorial CM in general. For temporal lobe CM, surgical decision-making concerns in particular whether to perform lesionectomy alone or the additional excision of mesial temporal structures. The purpose of this case series was to evaluate operative strategies used to ...
متن کاملCavernous malformations.
Cavernous malformations (CMs) are vascular lesions found in the central nervous system (CNS) and throughout the body and have been called cavernomas, cavernous angiomas, and cavernous hemangiomas. This article discusses the epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of children who are found to harbor these lesions. CMs affect children by causing hemorrhage, seizure, foca...
