Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: The utility of image guidance in fashioning a posterior transsacral operative corridor for approaching small presacral neural lesions has not previously been reported. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old woman presented with unilateral sciatica and worsening leg weakness. Subsequent investigations disclosed a well-defined, 1.4-cm lesion in continuity with the S1 nerve root distal to the anterior sacral foramen. TECHNIQUE: A minimally invasive approach was undertaken with use of the StealthStation (Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., Memphis, TN). The amount of sacral bone resection was preplanned to ensure the most direct posterior access route. Intraoperative navigation was used to guide the trajectory of bone drilling. After adequate exposure was achieved, the lesion was resected using standard microsurgical techniques under continuous intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring. CONCLUSION: An image-guided transsacral approach is a viable option for accessing small to moderately sized lesions of nerve root origin located within the presacral space.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
