The endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic techniques used in resection of intraventricular lesions

Abstract

q r c o d e endoscopes are used not only to assist in biopsy but have also evolved into a tool used throughout the entire process of resection of intraventricular lesions (2,5,13,19,27). However, resection of intraventricular lesions requires creating a special passage through the cerebral cortex or the corpus callosum, which typically requires the use of brain retractors. Traditional brain spatulas are prone to injuring the cortex or nerve tracts when pulling the cortical and subcortical structures.█ INTRODUCTION I ntraventricular lesions are deep-seated, and they cannot be easily approached without injuring nerve tissue. One of the important surgical principles of ventricular surgery is to remove the lesion to the greatest extent and avoid extra neurological injury (30). Neuroendoscopy has always been viewed as an important tool for the treatment of ventricular diseases. With the development of endoscopic techniques,

Application of endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic techniques in lateral ventricular tumor surgery

“…For cases of obstructive hydrocephalus due to the blockage of the foramen of Monro found intraoperative, simultaneous ventriculostomy was performed to establish drainage. Operations within ventricles commonly lead to loss of CSF and collapse of brain tissue ( 15 ). In our study, we encountered a case of acute epidural hematoma, which was considered to be caused by rapid collapse of brain tissue resulting from excessive release of cerebrospinal fluid.…”

“…Reported complication rates for resection of intraventricular tumors are between 0% and 30%, including hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, subdural hygroma, deep venous thrombosis, hemiparesis and neurological deficit (Table 2) (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(29)(30)(31)(32). In our study, 1 case experienced acute epidural hematoma, which was considered due to the following reasons (1): young patient, no adhesion between the pia mater and the dura mater (2), rapid collapse of brain tissue resulting from excessive release of cerebrospinal fluid.…”
