Anatomical aspects, technical nuances, and a case series of the resection of the inferior temporal gyrus as a strategy to access the basal surface of the temporal lobe and the lateral incisural space
The resection of the ITG represents a useful technique to reach the basal surface of the TL and the lateral IS since it avoids excessive retraction of the TL which may cause vessel injury, mainly to the vein of Labbé. Furthermore, it provides relaxation of the vein of Labbé when venous congestion is present. However, more studies are necessary to demonstrate short and long-term outcomes of the resection of the ITG.
