The Effects of Sleep Deprivation, Caffeine, and Alcohol on Simulated Neurosurgical Performance by  Daniel J Guillaume in Surgical Medicine Open Access Journal

Objectives: We hypothesized that sleep deprivation, caffeine intake, and alcohol consumption the night prior to simulated microneurosurgery may impact performance on a virtual reality neurosurgical simulator.

Patients and Methods: After IRB approval, trainees practiced a simulated bimanual arachnoid dissection microsurgical task on the NeuroTouch Neurosurgical simulator (National Research Council, Canada) until it was mastered. For each participant, the task was repeated several times following sleep deprivation, caffeine intake and the morning after a social gathering where blood alcohol content (BAC) was measured. Each time the task was performed, the participants documented variables on a questionnaire. Performance metrics included: task duration, left or right hand excessive force, number of incorrect or correct fibers cut, and overall score based on several measurements.

An easy explanation of the terms and procedures involving tubal ligation reversal surgery.

Tubal ligation reversal involves microsurgical techniques to reconnect the fallopian tube segments that remain after a tubal ligation procedure. Usually there are two remaining fallopian tube segments - the proximal tubal segment that emerges from the uterus and the distal tubal segment that ends with the fimbria next to the ovary.

The procedure that connects these separated parts of the fallopian tube is called microsurgical tubotubal anastomosis, or tubal anastomosis for short. Often many refer to the tubal anastomosis procedure as "tubal reversal".

The reversal specialist of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has perfected the out-patient surgery and offer this surgery for an affordable price. If you are looking for an alternative to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) then this may be the surgery procedure for you.

Types Of Tubal Reversal

There are three main surgical procedures to reverse tubal ligation and they each provide different chances of pregnancy success.

1. Microsurgical tubotubal anastomosis

2. Ampullary salpingostomy

3. Tubouterine implantation

We specialize in all of these procedures. We perform these procedures as outpatient surgery, at an affordable price, and provide our patients with the ability to become pregnant naturally and more than once. All of these procedures can provide an alternative to in-vitro fertilization.
