Neuronavigation-Guided Transcortical-Transventricular Endoport-Assisted Endoscopic Resection for Thalamic Lesions: Preliminary Experience.

Background: Surgery for thalamic lesions is generally challenging because they are deep-seated lesions surrounded by vital neurovascular structures. Whether neuronavigation-guided transcortical-transventricular endoport-assisted endoscopic resection for thalamic lesions is feasible remains to be further evaluated.

Methods: A retrospective review of 8 who patients received neuronavigation-guided transcortical-transventricular endoport-assisted endoscopic resection for thalamic lesions was performed.
