In biomedical research, it is imperative to differentiate chance variation from truth before we
generalize what we see in a sample of subjects to the wider population. For decades, we …

In early 1980-s, researchers discovered self-setting calcium orthophosphate (CaPO4)
formulations (initially known as calcium phosphate cements), which were bioactive and …

OBJECTIVE Various implanted materials are used in neurosurgery; however, there remains
a lack of pooled data on infection rates (IRs) and infective bacteria over past decades. The …

Objective The skull base reconstruction step, which prevents cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
leakage, is one of the most challenging steps in endoscopic skull base surgery (ESS). The …

Abstract Background Translabyrinthine approaches (TLAs) for resection of skull base
neoplasms are complex with variable reconstruction techniques. Fat grafts in conjunction …

Objective To assess complication rates in hydroxyapatite cement (HAC) cranioplasty for
translabyrinthine acoustic surgery compared with historical controls. Methods Retrospective …

Objective: To describe the procedure and results of an adapted closure and reconstruction
technique for translabyrinthine surgery that focuses on identifying and managing potential …

Objectives Despite advances in skull base reconstruction techniques, cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) leaks remain a relatively common complication after translabyrinthine (TL) vestibular …

Objective: To assess differences in postoperative pain, opioid usage, and surgical outcomes
between cranioplasty using abdominal fat graft (AFG) versus hydroxyapatite cement (HAC) …

Objective The objective of this article is to evaluate whether newly developed calcium
phosphate cement (CPC), mounted around the titanium plates, is useful for aesthetic cranial …
