Revisiting the Endoscopic vs. Microscopic colloid cysts resection battle with emphasis on endoscope assisted technique
EA excision of colloid cysts is safe and effective. When compared to PE and PM approaches, it can combine the advantages of both tools utilizing the microscope and endoscope to achieve a safe, gross total resection while minimizing hospitalization duration. The choice of surgical approach, however, should be individualized based on the cyst's location, size, and the surgeon's expertise and preference.
