To study the clinical value and efficacy of computerized tomography (CT)-monitored microinvasive craniopuncture for traumatic epidural hematoma. ⋯ Under CT surveillance, the YL-1-type disposable intracranial hematoma smash puncture needle aspiration in the treatment of traumatic epidural hematoma is a simple, fast, and accurate positioning procedure. Without craniotomy and blood transfusion, the YL-1-type disposable intracranial hematoma smash puncture needle aspiration is a safe and effective operation, but close attention is needed during the operation.

Intracerebral haematoma and brain ischaemia are rare life-threatening complications of cardiovascular surgery. The aim of this study is to present the experience with the neurosurgical treatment of patients with cerebrovascular complications of heart surgery. ⋯ Minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques appear to be beneficial for selected patients with intracerebral haematoma after heart surgeries even when considering the limited number of patients. Decompressive craniectomy should be considered strictly individually.

To understand the mechanism of the gamma knife treating the trigeminal neuralgia. ⋯ The pain relief induced the gamma knife radiosurgery might be related with the atrophy of the trigeminal nerve root in Chinese patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Preemptive wound infiltration in lumbar laminectomy for postoperative pain: comparison of bupivacaine and levobupivacaine.
Patients usually suffer significant pain after lumbar laminectomy. Wound infiltration with local anesthetics is a useful method for postoperative pain control. Our aim was to compare the efficacies of preemptive wound infiltration with bupivacaine and levobupivacaine. ⋯ Our data suggest that preoperative infiltration of the wound site with bupivacaine or levobupivacaine provides similarly effective pain control with reduced opiate dose after unilateral lumbar laminectomy.
