Approaches to Ventricles
Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy | Part 1
Rather than jumping directly into the operation, Part 1 develops the conceptual orientation every neurosurgeon, resident, and medical student needs before performing or understanding ETV. By the end of this session, you will be able to identify the critical structures that define the surgical corridor and appreciate the anatomical relationships that determine a safe ventriculostomy.
Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy | Part 2
In Part 2 of our Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) series, we take a rapid, high-yield review of the procedure with a practical surgical focus. Learn the indications, contraindications, patient selection, ETV Success Score (ETVSS), essential ventricular anatomy, operative steps, technical pearls, complications, and postoperative considerations. Designed for neurosurgery residents, medical students, and practicing neurosurgeons preparing for exams or operative cases.
Approaches to the Lateral Ventricle | Transcortical vs Transcallosal vs Endoscopic Corridors
This video reviews the principles behind choosing the optimal operative corridor, including the transcortical, transcallosal, and neuroendoscopic approaches, with emphasis on indications, anatomical landmarks, advantages, limitations, and surgical decision-making.
Anterior Interhemispheric Transcallosal Approach | Anatomy, Indications & Surgical Technique
This comprehensive neurosurgical lecture reviews the microsurgical anatomy of the interhemispheric fissure, corpus callosum, lateral ventricles, septum pellucidum, fornix, and deep venous system. Learn patient positioning, craniotomy planning, surgical corridor selection, ventricular entry, indications, advantages, limitations, complications, and operative pearls for safely approaching intraventricular lesions. Ideal for neurosurgery residents, fellows, practicing neurosurgeons, and medical students preparing for examinations and operative practice.
Transchoroidal & Subchoroidal Approaches
Master the Transchoroidal and Subchoroidal approaches to the third ventricle in this comprehensive neurosurgical anatomy lecture from The Neurosurgical Case Room (TNCR). This module explains the microsurgical anatomy of the choroidal fissure, velum interpositum, internal cerebral veins, fornix, tela choroidea, and the key surgical corridors used to safely access third ventricular lesions. Ideal for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeons preparing for exams or refining operative planning.
