Learning Objectives
Explain anatomic changes affecting the spine and its global alignment in the elderly patient. | Discuss ways to augment standard surgical techniques to improve outcomes in the elderly patient. | Understand that the treatment goals in the elderly patient can be different when compared to the younger patient, especially in scoliosis. | Review evolving treatment paradigms for cerebral aneurysms. | Identify areas to further improve clinical outcomes and/or costs associated with aneurysm treatment through basic science research. | Review the basics of laser interstitial thermal therapy for treatment of brain tumors. | Determine appropriate patient selection. | Evaluate patients with primary spinal column tumors and discuss the current state of management. | Review the various surgical resection techniques, including en bloc removal and unique reconstruction methods. | Identify potential differences in the approach and management of brain metastates across different institutions and practices in Texas. | Determine what level of collaboration with a neuro-oncologist or radiation oncologist is necessary to address various types of brain metastates. | Determine whether vascularized iliac crest bone graft for the treatment of pseudoarthrosis is appropriate for your practice. | Debate the pros and cons of biologics, vascularized grafts, HA coated screws and other solutions for pseudoarthrosis. | Determine how the scale of surgery influences the timing of treatment and anabolic premedication. | Understand methods and means to stay abreast of neurosurgical guidelines. | Define resources for rapid reference to enhance care of patients. | Explain the value of innovation in neurosurgical education and clinical care. | Determine if hyper-acute surgery is possible and safe. | Review literature related to adequate decompression rates for SCI. | Determine if the topic of targeting MPA vs. spinal cord perfusion is appropriate for randomized controlled trials. | Dretermine the potential of MLA-optical properties for easy-to-use methods for tissue identification. | Compare TCAR data with complete trans-femoral carotid artery stent data. | Compare TCAR outcomes with TF-CAS and CEA outcomes. | Review the potential of computational 'omics for metabolomic profiling of human brain tumors. | Determine if gene therapies can be selectively delivered into any cell type in the human brain. | Determine if the use of AI/ML and novel imaging techniques can potentially provide new biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of response. | Determine if aCAS likely the superior treatment for TO in the general population.
