Summary

Optimal craniotomy placement for endoscope-assisted surgery in subdural collections was investigated. A posterior craniotomy (C3) provided the greatest reach, proving most suitable for extensive subdural hematomas.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Endoscope-assisted surgery is increasingly used for subdural collections.
  • Rigid endoscopes present challenges in determining optimal craniotomy sites.
  • Understanding craniotomy placement is crucial for maximizing endoscope reach and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the optimal craniotomy location for endoscope-assisted surgery of subdural collections.
  • To evaluate the reach of endoscopes from different craniotomy sites.
  • To identify the best surgical approach for extensive subdural hematomas.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-four craniotomies (3 cm diameter) were performed in 8 hemicrania.
  • Craniotomies were placed anterior (C1), posterior (C2) to the coronal suture, and laterally (C3).
  • Subdural distances and endoscope reach in anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral directions were measured from each site.

Main Results:

  • The posterior craniotomy (C3) demonstrated significantly deeper subdural reach compared to the anterior site (C1).
  • C3 provided greater reach in all directions (anterior, posterior, medial, lateral) than both C1 and C2.
  • No significant difference in subdural depth was found between C2 and C3.

Conclusions:

  • Posteriorly placed craniotomies (C3) offer the most extended reach for endoscope-assisted surgery of subdural collections.
  • This approach is particularly advantageous for treating subdural hematomas covering the entire hemisphere.
  • Optimal craniotomy placement enhances surgical efficacy and minimizes parenchymal damage.
