Purely endoscopic biportal and monoportal removal of the choroid plexus papilloma of the third ventricle with bilateral spread to the lateral ventricles

Abstract

Modern neuroendoscopy makes it possible to treat tumors of various localizations with a reduced risk of intra-and postoperative complications. In this video, the authors present biportal and monoportal techniques for the removal of the choroid plexus papilloma of the third ventricle with bilateral spread to the lateral ventricles in a 1-year-old boy. For this operation, they successfully used a new instrument for neuroendoscopy, LigaSure, specially designed for intra-abdomi-nal surgery.
