Nerve decompression in diabetics with chronic nerve compression: update 2022

Optic nerve ischemia: optic nerve sheath decompression alone or with optic nerve decompression.

Endoscopic decompression for intraforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of endoscopic decompression surgery for intraforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression in the lumbar spine. METHODS The records from seventeen consecutive patients treated with endoscopic posterior decompression without fusion for intaforaminal and extraforaminal nerve root compression in the lumbar spine (7 males and 1...

Arthroscopic Transcapsular Axillary Nerve Decompression

Symptomatic axillary nerve compression can result in debilitating pain and weakness that can result in decreased athletic performance. If a trial of nonoperative treatment is not successful, surgical intervention may be required. Open surgical techniques have provided satisfactory outcomes in small cohorts of patients. Recent advancements in surgical technique have provided the ability to perfo...

Modified Simple Decompression of Ulnar Nerve in Treat-ment of Cubital Tunnel Syndrom

BACKGROUND There are two main surgical approaches, simple ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow, and anterior transposition of the nerve in treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. Both techniques were reported in literature in details with similar reported success rates. Here, we present a modified simple de-compression surgical technique in treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. METHODS Fifty...

Evaluation of microsurgical internal neurolysis in a primate median nerve model of chronic nerve compression.

This study evaluates the effect of internal neurolysis on a chronically compressed primate median nerve as compared with a simple decompression procedure. In 11 adult, cynomologous monkeys, the median nerve in the carpal tunnel was banded with a silicone tube. After 6 months of nerve compression (mild to moderate compression in our model) in eight monkeys, a microneurosurgical internal neurolys...
