We reviewed the surgical complications from our recent experience in vascular and tumor patients who underwent anterior clinoidectomy through the lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach. ⋯ Anterior clinoidectomy can be performed through an LSO approach with a safety profile that is comparable to other approaches. Ultrasonic bone dissector is a useful tool but may lead to injury of the optic nerve and should be used very carefully in its vicinity.

Adjuvant immunotherapy with whole-cell lysate dendritic cells vaccine for glioblastoma multiforme: a phase II clinical trial.
This study sought to evaluate effectiveness of autologous dendritic cell vaccine (immunotherapy) for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ⋯ Adjuvant immunotherapy with whole-cell lysate dendritic cell vaccine may improve short-term survival. It seems to be safe, and its long-term effectiveness is worthy of further investigation.
