“Usage of a Minimally Invasive Tubular Retraction System for Deep-Seated Tumors in Pediatric Patients” in
Journal of Neurosurgery
in May 2011: Pediatrics. Co-authors Pablo Recinos, M.D., of the Cleveland Clinic and George Jallo, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University conclude that while access to deep-seated, intra-axial tumors is challenging, the ViewSite™ tubular retractor and frameless neuro navigation facilitated the surgical approach and the combination of these technologies adds to the surgeon’s armamentarium to safely approach tumors in deep locations.

“Vycor Viewsite TC: Endoscope-guided Intraparenchimal Brain Tumor Resection,” by Daniel Prevedello, M.D., Director of the Minimally Invasive Cranial Surgery Program at the Ohio State University. Dr Prevedello reported on a case with a patient taking Avastin®, which delays surgical wound healing. He said the Viewsite TC was essential to the surgery; otherwise, no procedure could have been performed on the patient.

“Minimally Invasive Trans-Portal Resection of Deep Intracranial Lesions” in
Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery,
February 2011 a Johns Hopkins University paper by lead author A. Quinones Hinojosa. The authors reported a case series of 9 adult and pediatric patients with a variety of pathologies, including colloid cyst, DNET, papillary pineal tumor, anaplastic astrocytoma, toxoplasmosis and lymphoma. The locations of the lesions approached included: lateral ventricle, basal ganglia, pulvinar/posterior thalamus and insular cortex. Post-operative imaging was assessed to determine extent of resection and extent of white matter damage along the surgical trajectory. Satisfactory resection or biopsy was obtained in all patients.
Conclusion:
VBAS lends itself well to minimally invasive microsurgical approaches and can be used in combination with modern navigational systems. The use of navigation permits not only the creation of a smaller craniotomy but also facilitates the creation of a trajectory that provides efficient and safe means for splitting white fiber tracts.

“Rigid endoscopic resection of deep-seated or intraventricular brain tumors”, by Yukinori Akiyama, Masahiko Wanibuchi, Takeshi Mikami, Yoshifumi Horita, of the Dept of Neurosurgery, Sapporo Medical University, School of Medicine, Hokkaido Japan. Published in Neurological Research, Mar 2015.
Conclusion
: Strong retraction may cause significant brain and vascular damage; tubular retractors can help minimize retraction injury. The rigid endoscopic technique using a thick tubular sheath [VBAS] provides an alternative medial approach that improves visualization and increases working space. We believe that this technique [rigid endoscope resection through a sheath] is a safer, more reliable, and less invasive method for the treatment of deep-seated brain tumors.

“3D Endoscope Transcallosal Approach to the Third Ventricle” by Alireza Shoakazemi, Alexander I. Evins, Justin C. Burrell, Philip E. Stieg and Antonio Bernardo of the Weill Cornell Medical Center. Published in The Journal of Neurosurgery, Mar 2015.
Conclusion:
A transtubular approach [utilizing VBAS] to the third ventricle is feasible and facilitates blunt dissection of the corpus callosum that may minimize retraction injury. This technique also provides an added degree of safety by limiting the free range of instrumental movement. The combination of 3D endoscopic visualization with a clear plastic retractor facilitates safe and direct monitoring of the surgical corridor.

“A Percutaneous Transtubular Middle Fossa Approach for Intracanalicular Tumors
”
by Antonio Bernardo, Alexander I. Evins, Apostolos J Tsiouris and Philip E Stieg. of the Department of Neurological Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York. Published in
World Neurosurgery
Mar 2015 .
Conclusion:
“All 10 approaches were successfully completed through the tubular retractor [VBAS] with minimal retraction of the temporal lobe. Excellent visualization of the structures within the internal auditory canal was achieved with both the microscope and 3D endoscope…”

Restoration of vision: NovaVision’s VRT and Sight Science’s Neuro-Eye Therapy (NeET), aim to improve visual sensitivity in a persons blind area. VRT delivers a series of light stimuli along the border of the patient’s visual field loss. These programmed light sequences stimulate the border zone between the “seeing” and “blind” visual fields, repetitively challenging the visual cortex in the border zone with multiple stimuli over the course of time. NeET targets deep within the blind area by repeated stimulation, allowing patients to detect objects within the blind field.
|
|
●
|
Compensation and re-training: Normal eye movements are also affected after brain injury adding to the problems of blindness. NeuroEyeCoach provides a complementary therapy to VRT and NeET, which re-trains a patient to move their eyes, re-integrate left and right vision and to make the most of their remaining visual field.
|
| ● |
Approximately 70% of patients experience positive outcome reflected by an increase in their visual field and studies have indicated an average increase of 4.9 degrees (Mueller I, et al., 2007; Romano JG, et al., 2008).
|
| ● |
Elapsed time since injury does not seem to impact VRT and NeET therapies success. Therefore, a large historical backlog of patients can potentially be treated (Romano JG, et al., 2008).
|
| ● |
Improvements are permanent and do not appear to be age or gender dependent.

Broadening Patient Benefits: the creation of NeuroEyeCoach
.
Two things happen when someone suffers from vision related disorders following a stroke or the like: there is a loss of visual field as well as difficulty with eye movement, affecting the ability to integrate visual information. NeuroEyeCoach addresses patients' difficulty with their eye movements and their ability to integrate visual information. While VRT addresses the restoration of lost vision, NeuroEyeCoach enables the patient to make the most of their remaining vision; the two therapies provided in a suite are therefore highly complementary and ensure broad benefits to NovaVision's patients.
|
|
●
|
Cost Effective and Affordable
.
Migrated therapy delivery from provided-hardware to internet-delivered onto patients' computers, significantly reducing cost without changing the therapy itself. Further cost reduction has been achieved through considerable business process streamlining. The Internet-delivered therapy suite was made commercially available in June 2015.
|
|
●
|
Scalable
.
NovaVision's therapy is now affordable, with broader benefits and truly scalable and deliverable to the mass market.
|
|

|
VRT and NeuroEyeCoach Therapy Suite
. NovaVision recently launched in the US these two complementary therapies, internet-delivered in a package for $900.

NeuroEyeCoach.
For patients with visual impairments who are not suitable, for whatever reason, for VRT, we provide NeuroEyeCoach on its own for $450.

Vision Diagnostic (VIDIT).
A diagnostic system that enables therapists to perform high-resolution visual field tests in less than 10 minutes to screen for visual field deficits as a result of neurological brain damage. NovaVision has received approval for and entered into an agreement to offer VIDIT throughout the 100+ network of HealthSouth rehabilitation centers in the U.S.; therapists are then able to refer patients to NovaVision. As we roll this out to the HealthSouth network we will also market this model to other rehabilitation chains and centers.

|
NeuroEyeCoach Pro Center
. Enables stroke rehabilitation and other centers to treat patients while in their care, both as in-patient and out-patient. NovaVision has recently entered into an additional agreement with HealthSouth to be able to offer NeuroEyeCoach Pro Center to the HealthSouth rehabilitation centers in the U.S.
