A great share! There are many individualized protocols for TE prophylaxis, with advantages/ disadvantages! 1. What is your protocol for TE prophylaxis following spine surgery? 2. What factors (age; high-risk for TE event; already on some form of antiplatelet drugs; type of spine surgery etc.) do you take into account? [Please do check comments for our experience with the same in one particular L45 OLIF-ATP case.]

Nice paper from the Rothman group re chemical prophylaxis after spine surgery. The risk of postoperative hematoma is always there. From the paper "our findings suggest that the delayed chemoprophylaxis protocol may mitigate postoperative hematoma formation without increasing the risk for a thrombotic event". This is what I do, lovenox for high risk only and not immediate. Ideally ambulate with mechanical prophylaxis. https://lnkd.in/gPiyqPRk

On #thisDayInScience in 1963, Dr. Thomas Starzl made history with the first human liver transplant.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) carries a grim prognosis with a <5% chance of 5-year survival following standard therapy. 3D Predict™ Glioma accurately predicted clinical response/nonresponse to TMZ in 85% (P=0.007) within 7 days of surgery and prior to treatment initiation. Now, you can test before you treat. Learn more: bit.ly/3SGc5L9 #Kiyatec #3DPredict #Glioma #BrainCancer #PrecisionMedicine #CancerTreatment

There are certainly benefits of an expedient surgery, as well as negatives and benefits to delaying surgery. Ask the right questions in order to know all your options for your diagnosis and particular needs. #braintumorawareness #braintumor

The gravity of a #braintumor diagnosis and the complexity of treatment decisions can leave you feeling lost and uncertain. In such challenging circumstances, making well-informed decisions becomes paramount. In most cases, there is time to seek a second opinion with another neurosurgeon before undergoing surgery. Learn about the value of obtaining a second opinion when it’s safe to do so and options for where to look for a second opinion in this blog post by NBTS and The AANS CNS Joint Section on Tumors: https://lnkd.in/g7qBavvK Edjah Nduom

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is changing the lives of patients suffering from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). PAE is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces prostate size by blocking the blood flow to the enlarged tissue, offering relief without the need for surgery. If you or someone you know is dealing with the disruptive effects of an enlarged prostate, contact our team to set up a consultation with one of our prostate specialists. dfwprostatehealth.com #prostatehealth #BPH #PAE #prostatearteryembolization #enlargedprostate #benignprostatichyperplasia #interventionalradiology #prostate #menshealth

I recommend these 3 things to most of my patients prior to elective surgery. Surgery can be a great option in certain situations and necessary in some circumstances (e.g. trauma, emergency procedures, cancer treatment…). Sadly, it is not always the best option and there are many unnecessary surgeries that are performed. How do you inform your patients prior to surgery?
