Telovelar versus transvermian approach to tumors of the fourth ventricle and their impact on postoperative neurological complications: A multicenter study
Abstract:Background:
Tumors of the fourth ventricle are exceedingly rare; however, such lesions are formidable due to the severe postoperative neurological complications (pNCs) which often occur. The adoption of the telovelar approach over the transvermian was created to supposedly mitigate the pNCs; however, there is a lack of sufficient data supporting this theory.
Methods:
Records from six hospitals were reviewed for patients surgically treated for a single tumor within the 4th ventricle from 2016 to 2022. The p… Show more
