10/01/1998 - "Blood glucose and ketone body (3-hydroxy-butyrate) concentrations were measured in 8 children (4.2 +/- 2.8 years old) during the repair of lipomyelomeningocele (9.0 +/- 2.6 hours) to elucidate whether lipid mobilization can be prevented by glucose infusion at the rate of 0.2 +/- 0.05 g.kg-1.h-1. "

07/01/2006 - "Although the authors do not advocate the use of LSA measurement as the sole indicator of a tethered spinal cord, this imaging finding may prove useful to the clinician as an indication of the tethered spinal cord or as an adjunct in verifying symptomatology in patients harboring a lipomyelomeningocele."

"

12/01/2018 - "There were nine intraoperative interventions: (5) patients should receive perioperative cefazolin or an equivalent alternative in the event of allergy, (6) chlorhexidine-based skin preparation is the preferred regimen, (7) saline irrigation should be used intermittently throughout the case, (8) antibiotic-containing irrigation should be used following dural closure, (9) a nonlocking running suture technique should be used for dural closure, (10) dural graft overlay should be used when unable to obtain primary dural closure, (11) an expansile dural graft should be incorporated in cases of lipomyelomeningocele in which primary dural closure does not permit free flow of CSF, (12) paraxial muscles should be closed as a layer separate from the fascia, (13) routine placement of postoperative drains is not necessary.
