Summary: This study compared the safety and efficacy of unilateral hemilaminectomy conducted under complete neuroendoscopic visualization (UHNV) with unilateral hemilaminectomy under total microscopic visualization (UHMV) for the treatment of intraspinal tumors. The results showed that UHNV is not inferior to UHMV and has the advantages of shorter incision length, less intraoperative blood loss, and improved postoperative symptom improvement.

Summary: The utilization of neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) for resection of intraventricular lesions appears to be a safe and valuable tool, achieving gross/near total resection with transient morbidity observed in some cases. The type, size, consistency, and vascularization of the lesion may limit the purely endoscopic use of the NUA in selected cases.

Summary: This study analyzed the medical records of six patients with glioblastoma who underwent endoscopic removal combined with preoperative endovascular tumor embolization. The procedure was successful with no complications from tumor embolization and minimal intraoperative blood loss. The study concluded that endoscopic removal shows promise in the treatment of glioblastoma with minimal invasiveness and favorable prognosis.

Summary: This study compared neuroendoscopic surgery (NES) with external ventricular drain (EVD) for the treatment of spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and found that NES resulted in shorter intensive care unit length of stay, reduced permanent cerebrospinal fluid diversion rates, improved clinical outcome scores, and reduced mortality.

Summary: This article presents a step-by-step guide for the endoscopic management of intraoperative hemorrhages during neuroendoscopic procedures. The authors emphasize the importance of constant irrigation, coagulation, and the use of advanced techniques to ensure control of the bleeding and avoid the need for microsurgical conversion.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the application of DTI-tractography and combined fMRI/DTI-tractography in resective brain surgery. The results showed that patients with DTI-tractography were more likely to experience improvement or preservation of preoperative neurological deficits (PNDs) at 1 month postoperatively, while patients with combined DTI-tractography/fMRI were more likely to have complete resolution of PNDs at 6 months. The use of combined DTI-tractography/fMRI also had a positive effect on the resolution of PNDs in patients with low-grade or high-grade lesions.

Summary: Symptomatic cysts of the septum pellucidum (CSP) in children are rare, and surgical treatment requires careful evaluation. Neuroendoscopic surgery is safe, effective, and results in improvement of symptoms and signs in patients with CSP.

Summary: Fluorescein-guided endoscopic transtubular surgery is a feasible, safe, and effective technique for the resection of intra- and paraventricular malignant tumors (IV-PVMTs), showing promising outcomes in terms of tumor resection and patients' general physical condition. Further prospective randomized studies with larger samples are required to validate these preliminary findings.

Summary: This case series describes the surgical removal of lateral ventricular tumors using a transcallosal approach. The complete tumor removal was achieved, but the treatment for epileptic seizures and ventriculomegaly showed limited effectiveness.

Summary: Operating microscopes, navigation systems and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring are essential in modern neurosurgical and maxillofacial procedures. The benefits of a contemporary navigation system in complicated surgeries are undeniable. Workflow analyses and cost-benefit evaluations are necessary to increase the efficiency of neuronavigation systems.

Summary: Before intracranial tumor resection surgery, tumor outlines are typically marked on the patient's skin for optimal planning. We developed an AR-based workflow using the Microsoft HoloLens II, which provides a more intuitive and quicker method for tumor resection planning compared to conventional neuronavigation. The accuracy of the AR-based navigation system was assessed through phantom testing and a prospective clinical trial.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical experience and therapeutic efficiency of Endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery for resection of lateral ventricular tumors. The key points and application value of this surgical technique were discussed. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of 16 patients. The surgical procedures, complications and outcomes were analyzed.

Summary: Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors, but those arising from the ventricular system are rare and can result in spontaneous hemorrhage. A case study of a 28-year-old female with acute intracranial hemorrhage due to intraventricular meningioma highlights the importance of recognizing this rare event. Early surgical intervention is suggested for patients with lateral ventricular meningioma, even if the tumor is small or asymptomatic.
