Great talk by Cameron Brimley, pediatric neurosurgery fellow at Le Bonheur Children's St. Jude SemmesMurpheyClinic on the use of chemotherapy prior to resection of pineal region tumors! Pre-resection chemo aids in safe surgical resection by reducing tumor volume and vascularity. AANS/CNS Peds Section

Super excited to announce this symposium! Details are still being worked out, but goal is to have a very interactive and FUN experience where we can teach, learn, network, collaborate and make friends. We will definitely "get into the weeds"! Lemme know if you're interested...

Congratulations to my good friend. I can think of no one more deserving.

I'm thrilled to be working with Giles Robinson and Dr.Aditi Bagchi MD PhD on #SJiMB21, a St. Jude Research-initiated trial that could reduce long-term effects in infants & young children with #Medulloblastoma. Learn more: stjude.org/treatment/clin…

In collaboration with Le Bonheur Children's, Semmes-Murphey & #StJudeGlobal, neurosurgeons from 16 countries were invited to attend a 2-day conference on Sep 22. Topics included craniopharyngioma, temporal lobe tumors, epilepsy, posterior fossa syndrome & more tinyurl.com/tjuyzz6z

What an incredible honor it was to host Dr. Jeff Blount as our 2024 Talley Family visiting professor. A giant in our field whose impact will be felt for many years. A kinder and more humble soul you will not find. On behalf of UTHSC Neurosurgery, a heartfelt thank you, Jeff.

Had a great time at #cns2024 directing the epilepsy surgery symposium with Kurtis Auguste MD and @RolstonJohn! We had a fantastic lineup of speakers covering all aspects of epilepsy surgery from pediatrics to adulthood! Got to see great friends Taylor J. Abel and others!

Around the time COVID hit, I pulled back a bit on research and writing for a number of reasons. I had lost some of the excitement and passion. I feel the energy and desire returning...

Will start posting our projects as they get published, more to give recognition to all those that contributed to the process. I welcome any and all comments and criticisms. Let me know what you liked and disliked about our work. UTHSC Neurosurgery

Shunt checklists are commonplace in pediatric neurosurgery. One key component is limiting OR traffic. Does it make a difference? While we couldn't answer that question, we did look at who came in and out of the OR in 50 cases with surprising results.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39576978/

Excited to announce the 2nd Tumor Symposium and the 1st meeting of the new Society for Pediatric Neurosurgical Oncology @ St Jude campus! Please reach out if interested in attending. A day and a half of fantastic speakers, a variety of topics and controversies to get into.

1/2 When I started Le Bonheur Children's & St. Jude almost 15 yrs ago (😳), one of the first things I did was set up a number of prospective databases. In what will hopefully be a trilogy of papers, we first looked at predictors of extended LOS (>7days) after elective craniotomy.

2/2 Nothing comes close to the impact of having 1 or more postop event (POE) - an increased odds of almost 30 fold!! While you can't predict everything that happens after surgery, there are definitely some that you can anticipate and prepare for! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39612129/

2nd Tumor Symposium (first in 2023) and the 1st meeting of our new Society! We've got a fantastic group of speakers and topics with attendees coming from all over the world! Only a few spots left. If interested, please contact me: [email protected].
