    The effect of epidural free fat graft on the outcome of lumbar disc surgery
    (Springer, 2004) Görgülü, A; Simsek, O; Çobanoglu, S; Imer, M; Parsak, T
    Numerous materials have been used to prevent epidural scar tissue after lumbar disc surgery. Free fat grafts are common both experimentally and clinically, but there is some doubt about their protection against fibrosis, and some complications have been reported. In this prospective study, the usefulness of free fat grafts during lumbar disc surgery was evaluated. Ninety-nine patients who had undergone operation due to lumbar disc herniation were divided in two groups: those with implantation of free fat grafts (group A) and those without (group B). Outcome was evaluated at a mean of 2.6 years postoperatively according to the following criteria: visual analog scale for back and leg pain, Hannover Questionnaire on activities of daily living, reflex findings, sensory and motor deficits, consumption of analgesics, walking distance, straight leg raising test, and clinical examination. The outcome variables showed no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). This study suggests that the use of free fat grafts during lumbar disc surgery was clinically ineffective.

    A laboratory training model for interhemispheric-transcallosal approach to the lateral ventricle
    (Springer, 2006) Hicdonmez, T; Hamamcioglu, MK; Parsak, T; Cukur, Z; Cobanoglu, S
    Laboratory training models are essential for developing and refining surgical skills before clinical application of microneurosurgery. Our aim is to train residents of neurosurgery to be familiar with a basic microneurosurgical technique in access to the lateral ventricle via a transcallosal approach. The training material consists of a 2-year-old fresh cadaveric cow cranium. A four-step approach was designed to simulate microneurosurgical dissection along the falx to visualize cingulated gyri, callosomarginal and pericallosal arteries in order to perform callosotomy and access to the lateral ventricle, and finally to the foramen of Monroe. We conclude that the model perfectly simulates standard microneurosurgical steps in interhemispheric-transcallosal approach to the lateral ventricle and to the area of the foramen of Monroe.
