- Abstract
This document discusses the surgical management of suprasellar ependymomas, which are brain tumors. The article focuses on the use of the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for the surgical resection of these tumors. The EEA is a less invasive method that offers direct access to the tumor and surrounding structures, with minimal obstruction. The article provides a detailed account of the surgical technique used and includes a video demonstration. It highlights the effectiveness of this approach in achieving complete removal of the tumor. However, there is a risk of damaging neurovascular structures during the procedure, so the choice of surgical approach depends on the specific characteristics of the tumor and patient. Overall, the EEA represents a significant advancement in the surgical treatment of suprasellar ependymomas, providing a balance of efficacy and safety for improved patient outcomes.
