Neurosurgery Research Listserv

The Neurosurgery Research Listserv is an international neurosurgery discussion forum to confidentially discuss complex cases, research problems, and to undertake educational initiatives established in 1998. The goals of the Listserv are to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and transferring of expertise and enable co-operation and collaboration between neurosurgeons from around the world. The Listserv also aims to foster fellowship and friendship amongst neurosurgeons and professionals in allied fields.

It currently has over 800 members with more than 300 of the leading neurosurgeons. It is a multi-disciplinary forum and members also include leaders in neuropathology, microbiology, neuroradiology, neuro-oncology, neuropsychology, neuro-epidemiology, ENT, neurophysiology, neuroscientists and haematology.

New membership to the forum is through nomination or invitation. This is to ensure the confidentiality of clinical discussions in the forum.

I hope you would find the educational material provided through a multitude of innovative projects of the Neurosurgery Research Listserv useful.

Lumbar laminectomy

16/11/2018 Indications for lumbar laminectomy can be divided into two groups. The commonest reason is for lumbar canal stenosis; the other is to gain access to other pathologies: epidural abscess, intradural tumour. The former is invariably in patients with degenerative spine disease; in the later often in younger patients who do not have degenerative spine… Continue reading Lumbar laminectomy

3D-spine software

To undertake spine surgery it is important to understand its 3D-structure. Having or having access to 3D-models are very useful in understanding the 3D-structure of spine; particularly the bony anatomy. An alternative to models is 3D-Spine software. Best to have both both. The main advantage of software is that it allows you to relate the… Continue reading 3D-spine software
