Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the surgical method and clinical effect of craniopharyngioma resection through the cockscomb approach.
MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted from December 2010 to May 2018.The clinical data, imaging data and follow-up data of 101 patients with craniopharyngioma confirmed by pathology by pathology after resection of the frontal floor longitudinal fissure through the crow′s comb approach were performed in Department of Neurosurgery, Sanbo Brain Hospital Capital Medical University.The total tumor resection rate, mortality and complications were analyzed by statistical methods.
ResultsThrough this approach, the total resection rate of tumor was 90.1%(91/101), and the mortality was 1.9%(2/101). The most common postoperative complications were disturbance of sodium metabolism (54.5%(55/101)).
ConclusionSub-frontal longitudinal fissure crista galli approach can safely and thoroughly remove the tumor and avoid the injury of the hypothalamus and its surrounding tissues as far as possible.
