Full‐Endoscopic Foraminotomy with a Novel Large Endoscopic Trephine for Severe Degenerative Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis at L5S1 Level: An Advanced Surgical Technique

To (i) introduce the technical notes of a novel full‐endoscopic foraminotomy with a large endoscopic trephine for the treatment of severe degenerative lumbar foraminal stenosis at L₅S₁ level; (ii) assess the primary clinical outcomes of this technique; (iii) compare the effectiveness of this full‐endoscopic foraminotomy technique and other previous techniques for lumbar foraminal stenosis. From January 2019 to August 2019, a retrospective study of L₅S₁ severe degenerative lumbar foraminal stenosis was performed in our center. All patients who were diagnosed with severe foraminal stenosis at L₅S₁ level and failed conservative treatment for at least 6 weeks were identified. Patients with segmental instability or other coexisting contraindications were excluded. A total of 21 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients were treated by full‐endoscopic foraminotomy using large endoscopic trephine. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 year after the surgery, and the modified MacNab criteria were used to evaluate clinical outcomes at the last follow‐up. There were 10 males and 11 females with a mean age of 66.38 ± 9.51 years. Five patients had a history of lumbar surgery. The mean operative time was 63.57 ± 25.74 min. The mean follow‐up time was 13.29 ± 1.38 months. The mean postoperative hospital stay time was 1.29 ± 0.56 days. The mean preoperative VAS score significantly decreased from 7.38 ± 1.02 to 2.76 ± 1.09 (t = 19.759, P < 0.01), 2.25 ± 1.02 (t = 21.508, P < 0.01), 1.60 ± 1.05 (t = 31.812, P < 0.01), and 1.45 ± 1.10 (t = 25.156, P < 0.01) at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the operation. The mean preoperative ODI score significantly decreased from 64.66% ± 4.91% to 30.69% ± 4.59% (t = 33.724, P < 0.01), 29.44% ± 4.50% (t = 32.117, P < 0.01), 24.22% ± 4.14% (t = 33.951, P < 0.01), and 22.44% ± 4.94% (t = 30.241, P < 0.01) at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the operation. At the last follow‐up, 19 patients (90.48%) got excellent or good outcomes. One patient suffered postoperative dysesthesia, and the symptoms were controlled by conversion treatment. One patient took revision surgery due to the incomplete decompression. There were no other major complications. Percutaneous endoscopic decompression is minimally invasive spine surgery. However, the application of endoscopic decompression for L₅S₁ foraminal stenosis is relatively difficult due to the high iliac crest and narrow foramen. Full‐endoscopic foraminotomy with the large endoscopic trephine is an effective and safe technique for the treatment of degenerative lumbar foraminal stenosis.     

Guided biopsy of osseous pathologies in the jaw bone using a 3D-printed,tooth-supported drilling template

Suspicious radiological findings in the jaw bone require histopathological examination for the confirmation of a diagnosis. As pathologies in this region are difficult to reach or are in close proximity to relevant anatomical structures, e.g. tooth roots or nerves, they often represent a challenge. Such factors may adversely affect the predictability of the surgical outcome of a biopsy of the osseous tissues. This technical note introduces a novel method for performing a digitally planned, guided biopsy. For this purpose, a cone beam computed tomography scan and an intraoral scan are superimposed using specific planning software. The resulting three-dimensionally printed, tooth-supported drilling template is designed for a trephine biopsy. It allows a precise, minimally invasive approach, with an exact three-dimensional determination of the biopsy location prior to surgery. The risk of devitalization of the neighbouring teeth or possible damage to the nerve structures can be minimized. Furthermore, a small access flap can be sufficient. In summary, the method of bone biopsy presented here allows high precision and greater predictability for biopsy sampling and is minimally invasive for the patient.

Targeted Endodontic Microsurgery: Implications of the Greater Palatine Artery

IntroductionTargeted Endodontic Microsurgery (TEMS) combines trephine burs and 3D-printed guides to make flapless maxillary palatal root-end surgery possible. This study assessed the location of the greater palatine artery (GPA), the relationship of the GPA to maxillary molar root ends, and the feasibility of flapless palatal-approach TEMS.MethodsThree endodontists analyzed 250 cone-beam computed tomographic images of maxillary molars for (1) transition morphology between the hard palate and the alveolar process adjacent to first and second molars as an indication of the most likely location of the GPA, (2) the superior-inferior relationship between the GPA and root ends, and (3) the feasibility of palatal-approach TEMS.ResultsPalatal transition morphology included 20% Spine, 72% Bridge, and 8% Smooth. GPA position as related to palatal root ends was classified as 34% superior, 40% adjacent, and 21% inferior. Five percent of classifications were undefined. TEMS was deemed feasible for 47% of maxillary first molars and 52% of second molars, and was significantly more feasible with GPAs superior to palatal root ends. Reasons for infeasibility included GPA proximity and unfavorable resection angle or level. Maxillary first molar palatal roots were 11.13 ± 2.68 mm from the greater palatine foramen (GPF) and 2.37 ± 1.46 mm from the GPA. Second molar palatal roots were 4.94 ± 2.55 mm from the GPF and 2.53 ± 1.77 mm from the GPA.ConclusionsPalatal transition morphology and GPA position adjacent to maxillary molars, as manifested in cone-beam computed tomographic coronal views, suggested maxillary palatal root TEMS could be accomplished with a 2-mm safety margin in 47% of first molars and 52% of second molars. Historical paradigms that do not consider flapless palatal surgical approaches may need to be revised.     

The value of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) immunoreactivity in diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by splenomegaly, pancytopenia, and circulating atypical lymphocytes with circumferential cytoplasmic projections. We investigated the specificity and the sensitivity of anti-TRAP antibody immunoreactivity in 57 cases of HCL. We found that there is a statistically highly significant difference between TRAP immunoreactivities of the study and the control groups, and HCL can be diagnosed by TRAP immunoreactivity in bone marrow trephine biopsy materials with a specificity of 98.27 % and a sensitivity of 100%.     

Morbidity of harvesting of retromolar bone grafts: a prospective study

20 retromolar bone grafts were harvested in outpatients for augmentation of the implant site from January to June 2000 (10 female, 10 male, 40.9 +/- 12.8 years, minimum 17 years, maximum 66 years). The aim of the study was to assess typical complications of this procedure in a prospective manner. For the determination of the superficial sensory function of the inferior alveolar and the lingual nerve, an objective method was used. The bone grafts were harvested for single tooth reconstruction. In 14 cases a ridge augmentation and in 6 cases an endoscopically controlled crestal sinus floor elevation was performed. Preoperatively, the height of bone above the cranial aspect of the inferior alveolar nerve in the retromolar region was assessed radiologically with known markers. The maximum mouth opening was determined. The superficial sensory function of the inferior alveolar and the lingual nerve was assessed with the Pointed-Blunt Test, the Two-Point-Discrimination Test and the objective method of the 'Pain and Thermal Sensitivity' Test (PATH Test). Moreover, the pulp sensitivity of the teeth of the donor site was determined by cold vitality testing. All tests were repeated 1 week postoperatively. Intraoperatively, the width of the retromolar region was measured with a caliper. The patients rated the operative strain on a visual analogue scale. The height of bone above the inferior alveolar nerve in the retromolar region was 11.0 +/- 2.2 mm. The width of the retromolar area was 14.2 +/- 1.9 mm. Postoperatively, the maximal mouth opening changed significantly (40.8 +/- 3.5 mm preoperatively, 38.9 +/- 3.7 mm postoperatively, P = 0.006). However, the reduction was not relevant clinically. A direct injury of the inferior alveolar or lingual nerve did not occur. A sensitivity impairment could not be detected for either of the nerves by the different test methods 1 week postoperatively. The operative strain related to the donor site was significantly less than the strain generated by the implant placement (rating on a visual analogue scale 2.8 +/- 1.0 and 4.1 +/- 2.0, respectively, P = 0.027). Retromolar bone grafts are a viable method for augmentation of the implant site in conjunction with single tooth reconstruction with low strain on the patient and minimal risk of complications.

The pathology of bone marrow failure An important indication for bone marrow investigation is the presence of bone marrow failure, which manifests itself as (pan)cytopenia. The causes of cytopenia are varied and differ considerably between childhood and adulthood. In the paediatric age group inherited bone marrow failure syndromes are important causes of bone marrow failure, but they play only a minor role in later life. This review gives a comprehensive overview of bone marrow failure disorders in children and adults. We classified the causes of bone marrow failure according to the main presenting haematological abnormality, i.e. anaemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or pancytopenia. The following red cell disorders are discussed: red cell aplasia, sideroblastic anaemia, congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia, haemolytic anaemia, paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria, iron deficiency anaemia, anaemia of chronic disease and megaloblastic anaemia. The neutropenias occur in the context of Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS), severe congenital neutropenia, cyclic neutropenia, immune‐related neutropenia and non‐immune neutropenia. In addition, the following causes of thrombocytopenia are discussed: congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia with absent radii, immune‐related thrombocytopenia and non‐immune thrombocytopenia. Finally, we pay attention to the following pancytopenic disorders: Fanconi anaemia, dyskeratosis congenita, aplastic anaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
