White matter microdissection of the lateral aspect of the brain: 2-dimensional video demonstration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The white matter dissection technique owes its modern recognition to Josef Klingler, whose fixation protocol enabled detailed fiber bundle visualization and led to an outstanding and still relevant atlas of white matter anatomy. After a period of decline in the late twentieth century, the technique was reintroduced into neurosurgical training with the aid of the surgical microscope, emphasizing the importance of fiber dissection and its practical applications in clinical neuroanatomy. This article provides a structured, step-by-step demonstration of white matter microdissection, progressing from superficial anatomy to deeper fiber layers. Its main contribution is the supplementary video, which offers a detailed, structured demonstration of the dissection steps and white
