Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Treatment of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
To review the literature and analyze the efficacy and safety of 3 surgical methods (neuroendoscopic fenestration, microsurgical fenestration, and cystoperitoneal shunting) for middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts (MCFACs). ⋯ All 3 surgical methods are effective for MCFACs, but considering safety, neuroendoscopic fenestration may be the best initial procedure.

Review Meta Analysis
Perioperative complications and long-term outcomes after bypasses in adults with moyamoya disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Surgical revascularization for adults with moyamoya disease (MD) includes direct, indirect, or combination bypasses. It is unclear which provides the best outcomes. We sought to determine the best surgical management for adults with MD by comparing perioperative complications and long-term outcomes among 3 bypass types. ⋯ Overall, our analyses suggest that direct bypass with or without indirect augmentation provides the best outcomes for adults with MD.

Review Meta Analysis
Intraoperative ultrasound (IoUS) guided resection of Gliomas: A Meta-analysis and review of the literature.
Image-guided surgery has become standard practice during surgical resection, using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Intraoperative ultrasound (IoUS) has attracted interest because of its perceived safety, portability, and real-time imaging. This report is a meta-analysis of intraoperative ultrasound in gliomas. ⋯ IoUS-guided surgical resection of gliomas is a useful tool for guiding the resection and for improving the extent of resection. IoUS can be used in conjunction with other complementary technologies that can improve anatomic orientation during surgery. Real-time imaging, improved image quality, small probe sizes, repeatability, portability, and relatively low cost make IoUS a realistic, cost-effective tool that complements any existing tools in any neurosurgical operating environment.
