Minimally Invasive Transsulcal Resection of Intraventricular and Periventricular Lesions Through a Tubular Retractor System: Multicentric Experience and Results

This technique is safe and effective for the treatment of intraventricular and periventricular lesions. Surgery-related morbidity is minimal and often transient. Lesions are satisfactorily resected and residuum occurs only when the neoplasm involves vital structures. The tubular retractor minimizes trauma to brain incident in the surgeon's path.
