Objective: This study aims to elucidate the anatomical principles governing the surrounding venous structures (VS) of the horizontal part of the third segment of the vertebral artery (V3h) and develop a safe and bloodless surgical technique for exposing V3h.
Methods: This study used ten formalin-infused cadaveric head specimens. The dissections were performed stepwise to simulate the far lateral approach process, exposing the V3h with a novel technique.

Objective: Tumors in the ventral craniocervical junction (CCJ) pose unique challenges, particularly in children. The potential constraints with endoscopic approaches to tumors extending inferiorly and laterally and the risk of CSF leakage can be exacerbated in the pediatric population. Here, the authors present their experience with the extreme lateral transodontoid (ELTO) approach in children with large ventral CCJ tumors as an alternative or complement to anterior approaches.

Study Design: Retrospective study.
Purpose: This study aimed to propose a method of performing unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE)-assisted interbody cage insertion for fusion using the "insert and revolve" technique and analyze the clinico-radiological outcomes.
Overview Of Literature: UBE-assisted lumbar interbody fusion (ULIF) is a rapidly evolving technique combining the advantages of minimally invasive technique with ease of learning.

The endoscopically assisted supracerebellar transtentorial (eSCTT) approach is advocated for managing pathologies of the medial temporo-occipital region, but quantitative analysis is currently lacking. The aims of this study were to establish a grid coordinate system on the tentorium to model the anatomical relationship between medial temporo-occipital region pathology and the slope of the tentorium, and then to compare the paramedian eSCTT and extreme-lateral eSCTT approaches quantitatively. Bilateral paramedian and extreme-lateral eSCTT approaches were used to dissect three adult cadaveric heads anatomically.
