    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Third ventriculostomy is a neurosurgical procedure to treat obstructive hydrocephalus.
    • Traditional methods may carry risks and require specific patient selection.
    • Developing simpler, safer techniques is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, simple technique for performing third ventriculostomy.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this endoscopic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A fiberoptic endoscope is inserted through a small burr hole.
    • The burr hole is placed over the coronal suture.
    • The procedure was performed on five patients.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully employed in all five patients.
    • No complications were reported during or after the procedures.
    • The endoscopic approach facilitated access to the third ventricle.

    Conclusions:

    • This simple endoscopic third ventriculostomy technique is safe and effective.
    • Further research into patient selection criteria could optimize its application.
    • This procedure represents an ideal treatment modality for selected hydrocephalus cases.
