Quantitative analysis of exposure and surgical maneuverability of three purely endoscopic keyhole approaches to the floor of the third ventricle

CONCLUSIONS: Purely endoscopic TCTC and TFTC approaches offer brilliant exposure of the anterior, middle and posterior third ventricle. TCTC approach may have better surgical maneuverability than TFTC approach. Despite the long working distance, the whole third ventricle are exposed well except for the roof in the SFTL approach, and surgical manipulation can be accomplished smoothly.PMID:34545733 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.21.05455-2
