A recent study conducted by researchers at the Department of Neurosurgery explores an alternative technique called extra-axial endoscopic third ventriculostomy (EAETV) to overcome complications associated with conventional endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the treatment of hydrocephalus. The study included ten patients with obstructive triventricular hydrocephalus, and after undergoing EAETV, all patients showed clinical improvement. The results demonstrated that EAETV is a safe and effective surgical alternative to conventional ETV. This research provides valuable insights for medical professionals and patients seeking treatment for hydrocephalus. [Extracted from the article]
