Microsurgical Endoscope-Assisted Gravity-Aided Transfalcine Approach for Contralateral Metastatic Deep Medial Cortical Tumors

Abstract

This series suggests that the endoscopic transfalcine approach in the lateral position can be a safe and effective approach for resecting medial interhemispheric metastatic tumors. It allows excellent tumor visualization, eliminates the need for brain retraction, minimizes parenchymal transgression, and improves surgical ergonomics. A familiarity of endoscopy and neuroanesthesia support is helpful when utilizing this approach.
