Article Abstract
Background: To spare important anatomical structures from damage during treatment of cystic odontogenic lesions, decompression has become a conservative alternative to enucleation. Marsupialization, in combination with the use of a custom-made decompression prosthesis, is an effective method of inducing reduction and bony infill of cystic lesions of the jaw.
Methods: In this case series and review of the literature, we describe three patients with odontogenic cysts of the mandible who were treated with custom-made decompression obturator prostheses (DOP) at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Dental Service.
Results: At the conclusion of treatment, all patients demonstrated complete resolution of their respective bony defects.
Conclusion: DOP provide effective means of keeping the cyst opening patent following marsupialization, which allows for adequate, if not complete, resolution of defects, often without need for subsequent enucleation.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Decompression for Lumbar Central and Lateral Recess Spinal Stenosis: A Combined Uni-Portal and Bi-Portal Approach.

Background: Endoscopic decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis has been gaining popularity as the least invasive of several minimally invasive surgical treatment options. This procedure offers similar outcomes to those of conventional open procedures; however, endoscopic procedures are technically demanding and involve a substantial learning curve. The typical endoscopic approach is a "uni-portal" approach that utilizes a special spinal endoscope and endoscopic instruments.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to showcase a new surgical method for effectively decompressing the pudendal nerve through the Alcock canal, enhancing safety and reproducibility.
- Detailed video documentation is provided to demonstrate this step-by-step process.
- A case involving a 44-year-old woman with debilitating pelvic pain highlights the successful implementation of the technique, resulting in significant symptom relief without immediate complications.
First case-series of robot-assisted pudendal nerve release: technique and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of robot-assisted pudendal nerve release (RPNR) for treating chronic pelvic pain due to pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) in 32 patients from January 2016 to July 2021.
- The surgical technique involves identifying specific anatomical landmarks and progressively dissecting tissue to relieve pressure on the pudendal nerve.
- Results show significant pain reduction at 3 and 6 months post-surgery, suggesting that timely intervention can improve outcomes, with a median symptom duration of 7 years prior to surgery and minimal complications.*
Acetabular Paralabral Cyst Causing Obturator Nerve Compression in the Setting of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
October 2022
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas.
Case: Large acetabular paralabral cysts can cause compression of the surrounding neurovascular structures leading to sensory and motor deficits. We present a 68-year-old man with obturator nerve denervation from a paralabral cyst secondary to a labral tear associated with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Resolution of symptoms and return to full activities were achieved at 3 months and maintained beyond 1 year through open cyst excision, obturator neurolysis, arthroscopic femoral osteoplasty, and labral repair in the same surgical setting.
