Abstract

The endoscopic intradural subtemporal keyhole approach could facilitate excellent observation of the suprasellar, petroclival, and ventrolateral brainstem regions with less invasiveness. More anatomic exposure and surgical freedom could be achieved via neuronavigational assistance with fewer complications.
