Minimally Invasive Bilateral Anterior Cingulotomy via Open Minicraniotomy Using a Novel Multiport Cisternoscope: A Cadaveric Demonstration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bilateral anterior cingulotomy has been used to treat chronic pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, and addictions. Lesioning of the target area is typically performed using bilateral stereotactic electrode placement and target ablation, which involves transparenchymal access through both hemispheres.

Objective

To evaluate an endoscopic direct-vision lesioning using a unilateral parasagittal minicraniotomy for minimally invasive bilateral anterior cingulotomy using a novel multiport endoscope through the anterior interhemispheric fissure.

Methods

A novel multiport magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible neuroendoscope prototype is used to demonstrate cadaveric cingulate lesioning through a lateral imaging port while simultaneously viewing the pericallosa
