Fully Endoscopic Supraorbital Translaminar Approach: Step-by-Step Illustrative Description.

The article titled "Fully Endoscopic Supraorbital Translaminar Approach: Step-by-Step Illustrative Description" discusses a surgical technique called the fully endoscopic supraorbital translaminar approach (ESOTLA) for the management of third ventricle tumors. The traditional microsurgical approaches have limitations in accessing certain tumors and pose risks to nearby neurovascular structures, prompting the exploration of alternative techniques. ESOTLA combines a minimally invasive keyhole approach with endoscopic visualization, providing enhanced illumination and a broader field of view within the third ventricle. This technique offers improved cosmetic and neurological outcomes compared to other approaches, although it has limitations for certain types of tumors. The article includes a detailed case description and photographs to guide the surgical process. [Extracted from the article]
