1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2007 - "The best results were presented by the subgroup wherein previous craniotomy and debulking of the tumor were followed by radiosurgery (n = 7) with a median survival period of 24 (range 2-53) months" 02/01/2003 - "The tumor was evacuated via craniotomy with marked improvement in his clinical state" 06/01/2006 - "Symptoms improved significantly after the tumor was subtotally resected through a left retrosigmoid craniotomy" 04/01/2003 - "CONCLUSION: Modern neurosurgical techniques are beneficial for patients undergoing craniotomy or craniectomy for tumor and seem to be superior to standard techniques" 01/01/2000 - "She underwent craniotomy and tumor decompression with a good outcome" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Cysts 01/01/1983 - "Based on the results of the investigations which strongly suggested that the cyst is an expanding lesion, all cases were surgically treated by the same techniques of craniotomy, excision of the outer cyst membrane, followed by a cystoperitoneal shunt, resulting in complete disappearance of the cyst concomitant with reexpansion of the surrounding brain and marked improvement in the clinical pictures of the patients." 09/01/1991 - "Craniotomy and fenestration of the cysts were performed in some cases with good results" 10/01/1984 - "4) Patients were treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt, followed by craniotomy and resection of the cyst wall with good results." 04/15/1999 - "In properly selected patients, the endoscopic removal of cysticercal cysts located within the fourth ventricle is superior to the suboccipital craniotomy and should be considered as the primary treatment for this condition." 01/01/1988 - "Attempts at craniotomy and excision of these cysts is not always effective in eliminating the lesion and may provoke intracranial catastrophies" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
3.	Hematoma 01/01/1983 - "The literature and our experience suggest that the best treatment is complete evacuation of the hematoma by craniotomy performed before alteration of consciousness." 01/01/2001 - "Craniotomy for removal of the hematoma and calcification achieved good results in all patients" 07/01/2006 - "Emergency craniotomy for global neurological deterioration due to massive hematoma had improved the visual field deficit in two cases" 02/01/2005 - "Urgent two-burr-hole small craniotomy was effective for evacuation of partially organized hematoma" 06/01/2004 - "METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 172 patients with CSDH, comparing the efficacy of three different primary surgical methods: drainage of hematoma through two different burr-holes without membranectomy (Group A, n = 38); enlarged craniectomy with a size of about 30 mm craniotomy with partial membranectomy and drainage (Group B, n = 121); and extended craniotomy with partial membranectomy and drainage (Group C, n = 13)" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
