Text

Objective: Microscopical and endoscopical surgical areas of exposure in the standard suboccipital retrosigmoidal approach (SSRA) vary widely. For surgical treatments of pathologies at the brain stem, the knowledge about the surgical area of exposure plays a crucial role. The aim of the anatomical study is to evaluate and to compare the surgical area of exposure for the microscopical SSRA and the endoscopical-assisted SSRA

Methods: Three adult human cadaver heads (6 sides) underwent a neuronavigated SSRA. Microsurgical and endoscopic (0 and 30 degree-optic) vector coordinates at the brain stem were marked and noted using neuronavigation. The surgical area of exposure and the corresponding angle of attack was calculated and compared.

Results: The mean endoscopic-assisted area of exposure (428, 43 mm2 ± 26,21 mm2 (Range: 386,23 – 457,29 mm2)) was more significant than the microcopical area of exposure (338, 97 mm2 ± 24,76 mm2 (Range: 311,72 – 361,45 mm2)). Notable, the endoscope increases the view located at the ventral brain stem. However the mean angle of attack for the microscope (39,89° ± 2,56° (Range: 36,31° - 42,06°)) and for the endoscope ( 39,56° ± 2,63° (Range: 36,14° - 41,88°) were almost equal.

Conclusion: Endoscopic-assisted SSRA helps to verify the microscopical complete resection of lesions and gives more additional surgical access to lesions located ventral to the brain stem provided that safe surgical maneuverability is given under this operative setting.
