Abstract:
Epilepsy is a disorder of the nervous system that affects over 2 million people worldwide, with the highest incidence in children. Surgical management of a child with refractory epilepsy may result in improved seizure control and better quality of life. The perioperative management of the pediatric patient for seizure surgery presents a considerable challenge to the anesthesiologist. Primary concerns include the interactions of antiepileptic medications with anesthetic drugs, the effects of anesthetic agents and medications on intraoperative neuromonitoring, and management of seizures while under anesthesia. This chapter will focus on anesthetic concerns and management for pediatric patients presenting for seizure surgery.

Abstract:
Epilepsy surgery as a treatment option is usually reserved for medically intractable epilepsy, when anticonvulsant medication has failed to achieve adequate seizure control and the seizure frequency impairs quality of life. Intraoperative brain mapping is often requested by the surgeon and necessitates special planning by the anesthesiologist to provide the best possible operating conditions. Awake craniotomy with the “asleep-awake-asleep” pattern can be considered as a technique in such procedures but requires cautious management for achieving maximum patient satisfaction. Certain patients are not appropriate candidates for craniotomy in the awake state, but general anesthesia can still be considered with specific considerations.

Full text
Abstract:
Palliative surgery is defined as surgical intervention in patients with incurable malignancy for symptoms attributable to their cancer. A considerable percentage of consultations at major cancer centres are palliative in nature, resulting in 13-21% of all operations meeting the criteria for palliative surgery. Common symptom groups for evaluation include gastrointestinal obstruction, wound problems/infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, and obstructive jaundice. This chapter outlines the indications, treatment options, and outcomes for these diagnoses and a few less common indications for surgical consultation. Clinical trials are infrequent in this population and there is a paucity of prospective studies with quality of life outcomes measures. Most studies focus on morbidity and mortality as palliative surgery has long been recognized as having increased risk for complications, although recent studies suggest an improvement in this regard. The benefits of palliative surgery should focus on quality of life, symptom control, and symptom prevention. Future studies will be needed to determine the definitions of success and hopefully include patient-reported outcomes assessment.

Full text
Abstract:
While drugs play a key role in reducing disease activity, non-pharmacological therapies are crucial in maintaining function, flexibility, and quality of life. Therefore, non-pharmacological therapy remains a key component in the optimal management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), even in the era of biologics. Regular physical therapy allows patients to capitalize on the benefits of drug therapy and maintain optimal functional ability. Self-management and education strategies, supported by patient-support groups, facilitate independence and quality of life in chronic diseases. A proportion of patients with severe disease may require hip or spinal surgery. It is hoped that the availability of more effective drug therapies to control disease activity in axSpA will reduce the requirement for surgery in future. The optimal management of axSpA requires a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments, for both initial and long-term management.

Abstract:
Pain created by surgery has the ability to produce both structural and functional changes in pain pathways. These changes may be reduced if timely and adequate pain relief is delivered to the patient. Poor control of pain can result in remodeling of the “hardwired” pathways involved in pain transmission, which can result in central sensitization and hyperalgesia. Furthermore, poorly controlled pain and delay in its recognition may lead to a chronic pain state, further complicating the patient’s recovery and quality of life. A multimodal approach taking into account psychosocial aspects of the patient is more likely to mitigate the development of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP).

Abstract:
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been a long established therapy for various pain conditions including low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and other neuropathic and nociceptive pain states. Since the first report of SCS in 1967 by Shealy, advances have occurred in the technology used to achieve clinical analgesia. Developments in both the hardware and software involved have led to significant improvements in functional specificity, as seen in dorsal root ganglion stimulation, along with increasing breadth and depth of the field of neuromodulation. The patient experience during the implantation of the systems, as well as post-procedurally has been enhanced with improvements in programming. These technological improvements have been validated in quality evidenced-based medicine: what was a static area now is a dynamic field, with neuromodulation poised to allow physicians and patients more viable options for better pain control for chronic painful conditions.

Abstract:
Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for pediatric patients who have end-stage renal disease. A successful transplant improves intellectual and behavioral development, quality of life, and survival, with the survival at 10 years being as high as 83% (Kim et al., 1991). We can optimize the chance of success by understanding the pathophysiology involved and applying this knowledge to guide our management of perioperative fluid balance, electrolyte anomalies, anemia, blood pressure control, and comorbidities. Also critical is an appreciation of the effects and consequences of the various immunosuppressive agents that are used. Close communication is required between the pediatrician, surgeon, and anesthesiologist.
