Transsulcal parafascicular brain path-assisted approach to subcortical lesions: 2-dimensional operative video.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approaches to subcortical lesions have traditionally been limited by the morbidity of white matter dissection and fixed blade retraction required to reach these targets. Visualization of deep surgical fields with a traditional operating microscope is also poor. Coordinated use of intra-operative image guidance, a tubular retractor (BrainPath^®, Nico Corp, Indianapolis, Indiana), a high-definition exoscope (Vitom^®, Karl Storz Endoscopy America, Inc, El Segundo, California), and a low-profile resection device (Myriad^®, Nico Corp) facilitates atraumatic access to and resection of subcortical lesions including primary brain tumors, brain metastases, and intracerebral hemorrhages.[1] Use of pre-planned transsulcal and parafascicular trajectorie
