Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1391: Endoscopic-Assisted Microsurgical Meningioma Resection in the Skull Base via Minicraniotomy: Is There a Difference in Radicality and Outcome between Anterior Skull Base and Posterior Fossa?

Conclusions: The results revealed that endoscopy was beneficial in both locations. The identification of remnant tumor tissue and the benefit of endoscopy were clearly higher in the posterior fossa. Endoscopic assistance is a very helpful tool for increasing radicality, providing a better anatomical overview during surgery, and better identifying remnant tumor tissue in skull base meningioma surgery.
