Endoscopic and Endoscopically-Assisted Resection of Intraventricular Lesions Using a Neuroendoscopic Ultrasonic Aspirator.

ABSTRACT: The development of minimally invasive neuroendoscopy has advanced in recent years. The introduction of the neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) broadened the treatment spectrum of neuroendoscopy. We aim to describe our experience with the use of NUA for the resection of intraventricular lesions. Here, we present consecutive retrospective case series of adult and pediatric patients undergoing resection of an intraventricular lesion with a NUA (Endoscopic Neurosurgical Pen, Söring GmbH, Quickborn, Germany) between January 2019 and April 2020. Eight patients between the age of 0.5 and 73 years underwent surgery using NUA and were included in this study. In four patients, an endoscopic assisted (EA) resection of the lesion was undertaken, while in four patients, the lesion was removed us
