Intracranial parameningeal rhabdomyosarcomas are rare, aggressive, rapidly progressive paediatric malignancies that carry a poor prognosis. The authors report a case of a 2-year-old boy who initially presented with a left facial palsy, ataxia and, shortly after, bloody otorrhoea. MRI imaging was initially suggestive of a vestibular schwannoma. Howe...
Article
Objective: Suboptimal lead placement is one of the most common indications for deep brain stimulation (DBS) revision procedures. Confirming lead placement in relation to the visible anatomical target with dedicated stereotactic imaging before terminating the procedure can mitigate this risk. In this study, the authors examined the accuracy, precis...

Objective The COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic decrease in face-to-face teaching. This can particularly impact medical students' skills development. This prompted development of an in-person surgical skills course as guided by the ‘GMC Outcomes for Graduates’ facilitated by tutors with surgical experience. This study aimed to primarily assess pa...
Article
Whilst the natural history and management of trigger thumb have been thoroughly investigated, the aetiology of the condition remains poorly understood. There are suggestions that this could be a congenital or acquired condition, but evidence remains limited. A history of trauma has repeatedly been noted in a proportion of patients presenting with t...

Background Mentorship has long since been acknowledged as an integral part of Neurosurgical training. The authors sought to evaluate the state of mentorship in Neurosurgical training in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods A 28-point questionnaire was sent to all neurosurgical trainees in the UK and Ireland via the British Neurosurgical Trainee’s Asso...
Conference Paper
Ensuring a safe and accurate approach is fundamental in stereotactic functional neurosurgery. Reliance on anatomical targeting and dispensing with awake surgery is growing in popularity but can be vulnerable to suboptimal targeting. Despite the use of traditional techniques such as microelectrode recording (MER), suboptimal lead placement is curren...

Introduction Burnout is becoming an increasingly recognised phenomenon within the medical profession. This study aims to investigate the presence of burnout amongst neurosurgical trainees in the UK and Ireland as well as investigating potential exacerbating and protective factors. Method An online survey was sent to all neurosurgical trainees in t...

At the dawn of neurosurgery, medical illustrators were prominent members of the neurosurgical team, drawing key parts of operations that acted as part of the operation note and were used chiefly to disseminate information and educate the wider medical community. In recent years, written operation notes have become the norm, whether the traditional...

Background: Patient selection for critical care admission must balance patient safety with optimal resource allocation.This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care admission, and postoperative mortality after abdominal surgery. Methods: This prespecified secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study...
Article

Traditionally few students have had the opportunity to contribute to high-quality clinical research. Over the last five years, collaborative networks have empowered students and trainees to participate in high-impact multicentre studies that have potential to change clinical practice and improve patient care. The UK Foundation Programme Application...
