Abstract

The possibility of removing the brain through the nose without disfiguring the face was already known to the ancient Egyptians, who were experts in using this approach in the mummification process. A similar route through the nose and the sphenoid bone has been developed in the last century as a surgical procedure for the treatment of tumors of the pituitary region, which makes the more invasive craniotomy unnecessary in most cases. This has resulted in a significant decrease of the overall mortality and morbidity rates and has led to the great popularity of such minimally invasive surgery both for patients and doctors. The recent advent of the endoscope in this specific field and the development of further possibilities and instrumentation has contributed to a new renaissance of this old treatment modality.

Wie erfolgreich ist eine Re-Ablation nach Rezidiv?

23.04.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Nach der Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern kommt es bei etwa einem Drittel der Patienten zu Rezidiven, meist binnen eines Jahres. Wie sich spätere Rückfälle auf die Erfolgschancen einer erneuten Ablation auswirken, haben Schweizer Kardiologen erforscht.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
