Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endoscopic Techniques

Background:

  • Fully endoscopic approaches utilize rigid endoscopes for visualization in keyhole cranial surgery.
  • Rigid endoscopes offer superior visualization compared to microscopic views, especially in small exposures.
  • Fully endoscopic resection of intraparenchymal brain tumors is underutilized due to a steep learning curve and concerns about exposure/visibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elaborate on the surgical technique and nuances of the fully endoscopic nontubular retractor approach for intraaxial tumors.
  • To present a method for minimally invasive resection of intraparenchymal brain tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of clinical data, imaging, operative charts, and videos from a prospective database of endoscopic procedures.
