RESUMEN
This study reviews recent progress in the surgical treatment of Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) and Sellar region meningiomas, based on findings from three key studies. RCCs are benign, fluid-filled remnants from pituitary gland development that are usually asymptomatic and found by chance. However, surgical intervention is needed when they become symptomatic or increase in size. Research by Stefan Linsler et al. and others examines various surgical methods, including transcranial keyhole and transsphenoidal techniques for RCCs, and endoscopic endonasal and supraorbital keyhole approaches for Sellar meningiomas. The results show that both transcranial keyhole and transsphenoidal surgeries for RCCs have high success rates with no recurrences over 5.7 years, although the keyhole approach has fewer complications. For Sellar meningiomas, the choice between endoscopic endonasal and supraorbital keyhole techniques should be based on tumor characteristics, highlighting the importance of surgeon proficiency in both methods. These studies emphasize the need for personalized treatment strategies tailored to patient and tumor characteristics and highlight the importance of ongoing surgical skill development and further research to refine minimally invasive techniques. This study highlights the crucial role of personalized surgical approaches in improving outcomes for patients with RCCs and Sellar region meningiomas.
