How cool is this? 😎 Judy Huang, MD along with PGY-4 Jawad Khalifeh, MD & scrub tech Erica Mackall uses a new robotic exoscope that uses 4K 3D optics for enhanced visualization for many types of neurosurgical procedures at JohnsHopkinsBayview

Here, #SaiReddy+ performed a study including 590 patients treated for intracranial #meningioma (>=80 year of age). Aggressive surgical intervention was not associated with survival benefit. However, #radiotherapy was associated with survival benefit in this patient population.

Here in Journal of Neurosurgery , #LindaTang+ performed a retrospective study using the National Cancer Database of patients with atypical #meningioma They found that additional time between diagnosis and #surgery is associated with increased risk of #mortality after adjusting for confounders
