Abstract
Background
Deep-seated brain tumors pose a distinctive neurosurgical challenge, as frequently surrounded by eloquent structures. 3D exoscope represents a potential new paradigm for mini-invasive neurosurgery, which shows advantage during the neurosurgical procedure for this kind of challenging cases.
Methods
Utilizing a combination of 3D exoscopes and endoscopes, we successfully removed a left tentorial meningioma in a patient via a subtemporal keyhole approach.
Conclusion
Combination of 3D exoscope and endoscope has the advantages of precise tissue identification, minimized brain traction and enhanced visibility in hidden areas by integrating the strengths of both.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
