Endoscopic endonasal surgery for skull base lesions, including pituitary tumors, offers advantages. This method, using BrainLAB navigation, enhances surgical flexibility and reduces costs by eliminating the need for additional MRI scans.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

Background:

  • Skull base lesion resection is increasingly performed using the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach.
  • Traditional neuronavigation methods often rely on adhesive-mounted fiducial registration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach combined with BrainLAB navigation for pituitary lesion resection.
  • To highlight the advantages of this technique over conventional neuronavigation.

Main Methods:

  • Successful treatment of 33 consecutive patients with pituitary lesions.
  • Utilized BrainLAB skull reference array and laser surface scanning for surgical navigation.
  • Employed the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach.

Published on: January 17, 2018

Main Results:

  • The technique demonstrated successful outcomes in 33 patients.
  • Eliminated the need for rigid fixation in a Mayfield clamp, allowing for greater head positioning flexibility.
  • Avoided the requirement for additional preoperative MRI scans, reducing costs and procedure delays.

Conclusions:

  • The combined use of endoscopic endonasal surgery and BrainLAB navigation is an effective method for resecting pituitary lesions.
  • This approach offers enhanced surgical flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional neuronavigation techniques.
