Resection of lateral ventricle tumors using Neuro-Endoport technique

Objective To explore the effects of Endoport neuroendoscopy in the resection of lateral ventricle tumors.

Methods The clinical data of 5 cases of lateral ventricle tumors treated with the Neuro-Endoport technique were retrospectively analyzed, including 1 case of tumors located in the lateral ventricle frontal angle, 1 case in the interventricular foramina area, and 3 cases in the trigonometry area. The efficacy of the technique was analyzed.

Results All 5 cases of tumors were completely resected. Postoperative pathological results showed meningioma in 3 cases, hair cell astrocytoma in 1 case, and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in 1 case. No tumor recurrence was found in postoperative follow-up of 6 months to 1 year.

Conclusions Neuro-Endoport technique is safe and effective in the resection of lateral ventricle tumors, with advantages of the minimally invasive and good surgical field, and can be promoted clinically.
