Purely Endoscopic Subtemporal Keyhole Approach for Trigeminal Schwannomas: Surgical Techniques and Early Results
We report on PESKA, a fully endoscopic procedure with a small temporal craniotomy for a trigeminal schwannoma arising around the Meckel cave. The use of an endoscope allowed for a wide field of view, even in a narrow operative field, reducing brain traction and allowing radical resection of the tumor while preserving normal trigeminal nerve fibers. This method may represent an effective surgical alternative for trigeminal schwannomas.
