Microsurgical and Endoscopic Posterior Transcortical Keyhole Approach to the Atrium of the Lateral Ventricle: A Cadaveric Study

摘要

ObjectiveAccessing large lesions located in the atrium of the lateral ventricle without causing a neurologic deficit can be challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate a modification of the posterior transcortical approach that may create sufficient exposure to the atrium of the lateral ventricle with less injury to the brain cortex and fibers using a technique that combines a microscope with an endoscope.
