From its inception in ancient Egyptian rituals, neuroendoscopy always promised a minimally invasive route to the cerebrum. Early visionaries, however, hit the proverbial wall of technical development until the 20th century, when new technologies allowed for light to be transmitted across a tube for visualization of intracranial structures. Despite a hiccupping start, with surgical microscopy hampering initial excitement, the development and transformation of neuroendoscopy continued, and today it is a widespread and reliable surgical option for the treatment of numerous varied and complex pathologies.

Article Synopsis
- Giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) represent a small but significant portion of pituitary tumors, and the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal (EET) approach has become the preferred surgical method, surpassing older techniques due to improvements in surgical outcomes since 2012.
- A systematic review analyzed various studies to compare EET with microsurgical transsphenoidal (MT) and transcranial (TC) approaches, evaluating factors like gross total resection rates, visual improvement, and complications.
- Results showed that EET had higher gross total resection rates (42%) and better visual outcomes (85%) compared to MT (33% and 73%) and TC (8% and 56

Objective: Despite growing published evidence of the merits of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) instead of shunt revision at the time of shunt malfunction (secondary ETV), concerns about its efficacy and complications remain and ETV is still not used widely in this context. This study aimed to carry out a comprehensive meta-analysis and reports on the success and safety of secondary ETV in the pediatric age group.
Methods: In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central were undertaken from database inception to September 7, 2022.
