Revisiting the combined approach of Yaşargil for microsurgical removal of intra-extraventricular and pure intraventricular craniopharyngiomas
The basic principle in the treatment of craniopharyngiomas, which have high recurrence rates in the presence of residual tumor and locally aggressive behavior, is gross total resection in the initial surgery. Gross total resection offers the opportunity for cure and is critical in the course of the disease. The combined approach is an effective and safe technique to achieve gross total resection in the initial surgery for patients with intra-extraventricular and pure intraventricular craniopharyngiomas.
