Features of endoscopic anatomy of the chiasmal-sellar region in transcranial endoscopy via supraorbital keyhole-access

Abstract

The use of endoscopic assistance in transcranial microsurgical operations has started relatively recently and is not currently used routinely in neurosurgery. With the development of neuroimaging and microsurgical techniques in neurosurgery, minimally invasive surgery is currently actively developing, which provides a reduction in the volume of access and trauma of the intervention. One of the minimally invasive approaches used in chiasmal-sellar surgery is the supraorbital keyhole-access. This work is devoted to the description of features of visualization of anatomical structures of the chiasmal-sellar region using endoscopic techniques through microsurgical supraorbital keyhole-access.
