Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Evaluation of the necessity of postoperative imaging after craniosynostosis surgery | Object. Childhood radiation exposure increases the lifetime risk of cancer from an estimated 0.07 to 0.35%. Neurological evaluation of patients after cranial vault reconstruction for synostosis repair is often complicated by pain medication, sedation, intubation, swelling, and dressings; therefore c... | Computed tomography; Cranial vault reconstruction; Pediatric neurosurgery; Radiation dose; Postoperative imaging | 2007 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Reduction of hemorrhage risk after stereotactic radiosurgery for cavernous malformations | The benefits of radiosurgery for cavernous malformations are difficult to assess because of the unclear natural history of this vascular lesion, the inability to image malformation vessels, and the lack of an imaging technique that defines "cure." The authors selected for radiosurgery 47 patients w... | Cavernous malformation; Gamma knife; Stereotactic radiosurgery | 1995 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Complications of intracranial pressure monitoring in children with head trauma | Object. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has become routine in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many surgeons prefer to use external ventricular drains (EVDs) over fiberoptic monitors to measure ICP because of the added benefit of cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The ... | Head trauma; Ventriculostomy; External ventricular drain; Monitoring; Fiberoptic monitor | 2004 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Outcomes after decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury in children | Object. Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by early death due to transtentorial herniation. Decompressive craniectomy, performed alone or in conjunction with evacuation of the mass lesion, can reduce the incidence of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). In this paper the authors... | Traumatic brain injury; Decompressive craniectomy; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2006 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Reduction of transfusion rates in the surgical correction of sagittal synostosis | Object. As public concern about the risks of blood transfusions increased in the mid-1990s, avoidance of transfusions became a goal of surgery for sagittal synostosis. This study was performed to confirm a hypothesized reduction in transfusion rates in recent years and to identify factors associated... | Sagittal synostosis; Sagittal craniosynostosis; Craniectomy; Allogenic blood transfusion; Reduction | 2002 |
