Surgical approaches to the Pineal Region; Samer Elbabaa

SUMMARY: Dr. Samer Elbabaa presents his experience with approaches to the pineal region using Endoscipic Assisted or Endoscopic Controlled approaches to microscopic surgery. Using the sitting position for the patient, which is uncomfortable for a single surgeon, he presents a variety of cases for the viewers to see. Dr. Ausman reviews the history of Pineal surgery from James Poppen in the 1920s and 30s with hemianopsia from retraction of the occipital lobe with its high morbidity to the intervening 40 years with no treatment because of the high morbidity, no surgery, as this treatment preceded the operating microscope, no biopsy, to the Japanese Neurosurgeons (K.Sano) using therapeutic radiation for responding tumors. With the advent of microsurgery, Ben Stein from Columbia in NYC, used the supra-cerebellar approaches and found 30% of pineal lesions were benign and the rest had varied histology in the same tumor in his large series, mandating open biopsy and removal for tumors in the pineal region. Some biochemical assays were diagnostically predictive but not always accurate. Ausman proposed an operated side down 3/4 prone position with no retraction of the occipital lobe, and a sitting relaxed position for the operating surgeon with an assistant almost 40 years ago, a literature most do not read. The two neurosurgeons discuss the combination of approaches with the use of endoscopic assisted surgery as an advance in the treatment of lesions in the pineal area. Interesting discussion showing the value of interaction to improve surgery and resolve challenges. Some biochemical precision medical treatments are now available for pineal region tumors. Is this the future? 40 min (JIA)
