Electromagnetic field focusing (EFF) probe--a new neurosurgical tool.

Abstract:

:The electromagnetic field focusing (EFF) probe is capable of producing well circumscribed, intense heat at the point of contact with the tissue. Experimental studies were carried out to assess this probe as a neurosurgical tool using 38 rats and 4 mice with mammary carcinoma. The study on the rats included study of the cutting, coagulating and vaporizing effect on brain tissue including study of blood brain barrier disruption and heat dissipation. The study on the mice included the study of vaporizing property of the probe on solid tumours. The probe proved to be an excellent tool for cutting, coagulating and vaporizing purposes with very minimal disruption of blood brain barrier and demonstrated well circumscribed heating pattern. The study indicates that this tool combines the beneficial effect of both the YAG and CO2 laser.

  • Ventricular shunt survival in children with neural tube defects.

    abstract::Ventricular shunting has dramatically improved the care of children with hydrocephalus. Yet shunt malfunctions are extremely common and cause significant morbidity. To document shunt problems in children with a neural tube defect and hydrocephalus, 67 children born since 1973 were studied via life-table analysis. 28% ...
