The paper is written in the lecture format and dedicated to one of the main basal approaches, the orbitozygomatic approach, that has been widely used by neurosurgeons for several decades. The authors describe the historical background of the approach development and the surgical technique features and also analyze the published data about application of the orbitozygomatic approach in surgery for skull base tumors and cerebral aneurysms.

[Cerebrovascular resistance in patients with severe combined traumatic brain injury].
Cerebrovascular resistance is an important parameter of the microcirculation. The main objective of cerebrovascular resistance is to maintain the constancy of cerebral blood flow and protect downstream vessels when changing perfusion pressure. The purpose of the study was to assess cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) in patients with severe combined traumatic brain injury (CTBI) with and without intracranial hematomas (IHs). ⋯ Cerebrovascular resistance in patients with combined traumatic brain injury is significantly increased compared to the normal value. Cerebrovascular resistance in the perifocal zone after evacuation of hematoma in patients with multiple injury remains significantly increased compared to the symmetrical zone in the contralateral hemisphere.

Awake craniotomy is recognized as method that can decrease the frequency of neurological complications after surgery for gliomas located near eloquent brain regions. Unfortunately good neurological outcome can't be ensured even by using of this technique. This paper discusses reasons and possible ways of prevention of such complications. ⋯ Awake craniotomy is effective instrument of brain language mapping and prevention of neurological deterioration. Severe neurological complications of awake craniotomy are associated with underestimate neurosurgical risks, especially in terms of blood vessel injury and depth of resection. The main way of prevention of such complications is meticulous planning of operation and adequate using of mapping facilities.

Case Reports[Cardiac arrest after induction of anesthesia in neurosurgical patients].
The paper reports two clinical cases observed with a time lag of four years. In both cases, there were severe clinical symptoms of intracranial hypertension before the surgery. ⋯ In one case, cardiac activity was successfully recovered by complex resuscitation with the emergency drainage of the cerebral ventricles. The possible causes of complications and preventive measures were discussed.

[The outcomes of arthroplasty in degenerative lesions in the lumbar spine].
A retrospective study. ⋯ Total lumbar disc replacement with a Maverick prosthesis has proved to be an effective and safe technique. The clinical and radiological methods showed the significant improvement of the patients' status.
