Contralateral Transfalcine Approach for Recurrent Glioblastoma: A Technical Note on Multimodal Planning, Fluorescence-Guided Resection, and Reirradiation Strategy
This technical note illustrates that a contralateral transfalcine approach, supported by advanced multimodal planning, can optimize surgical outcomes in recurrent GBM near eloquent areas. It minimizes cortical transgression, facilitates en bloc resection, and integrates well into multidisciplinary treatment strategies.
