New microsurgical technique for intraparenchymal lesions of the brain: transcylinder approach

摘要

Background. Although various minimally invasive approaches, including endoscopic, stereotaxic, and ultrasound-guided surgery, have been introduced to minimize damage to healthy brain tissue, the microsurgical technique has retained a significant role in contemporary neurosurgery. A new microsurgical approach to intraparenchymal brain lesions, namely, the transcylinder approach, was developed to realize both minimal surgical access and sufficient microsurgical technique.
