Formation of painful seroma and edema after the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in posterolateral lumbar spine fusions.
TL;DR: There seems to be an increased incidence of formation of sterile seroma and painful edema in the lumbar region after posterolateral fusion with rhBMP-2, suggesting that more caution should be used when these compounds are used.

Surgical treatment of brainstem cavernous malformations.
TL;DR: Despite their challenging location in the brainstem, appropriately selected lesions can be resected surgically with acceptable rates of morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: Specific technical advantages of Onyx included deep penetration of lesions producing extensive tumor infarction, the ability to embolize extensive portions of the tumors through fewer arterial catheterizations, and the safety of catheter withdrawal despite often substantial reflux along the embolic catheter.

Endocrinopathy, vision, headache, and recurrence after transsphenoidal surgery for Rathke cleft cysts.
TL;DR: urgical fenestration and/or resection of Rathke cleft cyst via the transsphenoidal approach are a rational choice for surgical management of these lesions when symptomatic, and in most cases, visual symptoms and headache can be expected to improve.

Transcranial minimally invasive neurosurgery for tumors.
TL;DR: Endoscopy can be used as a surgical adjunct to improve tumor resection and to help protect neurovascular structures and the decision to use endoscopy must be individualized based on the patient and tumor.
