Summary
A novel interhemispheric transfalcine surgical approach offers direct access to contralateral hemispheric tumors. This technique successfully treated four parafalcine tumors, minimizing brain retraction and associated complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Brain Tumor Research
Background:
- Contralateral hemispheric tumors present surgical challenges.
- Traditional approaches may require significant brain retraction, leading to complications.
- Parafalcine tumors necessitate specialized surgical access.
