🎉 Congratulations to Robert Heidepriem, MD and Christopher Griggs, DO for completing the 50th TCAR procedure at TMH. 🎉 TCAR, or transcarotid artery revascularization, is a minimally invasive procedure to clear and open a narrowed carotid artery, the large blood vessel in the neck that carries oxygen-rich blood to the brain. In this procedure, the surgeon uses a surgical balloon and stents to reopen the narrowed artery. What makes TCAR unique is that the surgeon uses a blood flow reversal during the procedure that allows the brain to remain oxygenated while reducing the risk of arterial plaque reaching the brain, significantly reducing the risk of stroke. In addition to a significantly reduced risk of stroke, patients that choose TCAR are less likely to suffer from facial numbness or loss of function, have less pain over time and have minimal post-procedure recovery time, allowing patients to get back to normal activities almost immediately after the procedure.

Let's understand when to stop and restart DOACs during the peri-operative period. Xa inhibitors: For minor surgical procedures (low bleeding risk): Stop 24h before the procedure and restart on 1st post operative day. For major surgeries (high bleeding risk) : Stop 48h before the Procedure and restart on post op day 2. Reference: ACCP clinical practice guideline on perioperative management of antithrombotic therapy 2022.

Hernias are a common medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide. These occur when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue, often causing discomfort and pain. Hernia repair surgery has traditionally been performed through open procedures, but in recent years, advancements in surgical techniques have paved the way for minimally invasive approaches. One such technique gaining popularity is the Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair. In this article, we will explore the benefits and intricacies of TAPP hernia repair.

Congratulations to Dr. Rasel Rana on completing the FIRST dualX® case in Northwell Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, New York, using Amplify Surgical’s dualX® Dual Expanding Interbody Technology. We look forward to further collaboration with the dualX® technique to improve patient outcomes. Welcome to the growing #dualXcommunity! The #dualX® Dual Expanding Interbody Cage expands in both horizontal and vertical directions, providing an ALIF-sized geometry through a posterior approach. Shown below is the #dualX® T/PLIF (Transforaminal/Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion), designed for both Transforaminal and Posterior approaches. Amplify Surgical’s #dualX® system delivers a powerful dual-expanding implant through a minimally-invasive surgical corridor designed to reduce anatomical trauma and nerve retraction, helping surgeons achieve optimal results for their patients while minimizing the risk of subsidence.

*FREE WEBINAR | REGISTER NOW* Join our next #SRSWebinar in one week on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 09:00 Eastern Time (US/Canada). Significant variability and controversy exist in the post-operative management of patients undergoing major spinal instrumented surgeries. While surgeons have preferences in the management of their patients, little consensus exists in relation to the timing and type of antibiotic use, dressing type and duration, use of drains, and return to regular and more advanced activities. In this webinar, we will review the literature related to post-operative care of spinal deformity patients and highlight current trends of practice and areas of controversy that may be amenable to future study.
