ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Multicompartmental lesions within the central nervous system are challenging due to their complex anatomy. This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and utility of hybrid endoscopic and microsurgery versus endoscope-assisted microsurgery(EAM) for excising these lesions.METHODS:
A retrospective comparative analysis was conducted on patients who underwent multicompartmental brain tumor surgery, utilizing either hybrid endoscopic and microsurgical techniques with the Endocameleon Hopkins telescope featuring a rotating lens system and knob (Karl Storz GmbH & Co., Tuttlingen, Germany), alternately used with a microscope (ZEISS PENTERO 800 S) (Group 1, n = 69), or endoscope-assisted microsurgery employing a fully high-definition, 45° angled endoscopic tool, QEVO®, integrated into the digital surgical microscope KINEVO 900 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany) as a plug-in feature (Group 2, n = 63), from July 2018 to March 2024. Data on demographics, clinical presentation, lesion characteristics, surgical details, and outcomes were meticulously collected and analyzed using rigorous statistical methods, including t-tests and chi-square tests.RESULTS:
Compared to Group 2, Group 1 had better ease of dissection and visualization of bleeders (p = 0.01) and fewer postoperative hematomas (p = 0.04). Surgical times were similar (p = 0.134). Postoperative follow-up revealed fewer recurrences in Group 1, though not statistically significant (p = 0.33). Group 1 patients reported higher cosmetic satisfaction and shorter hospital stays (p = 0.002). Logistic regression identified tumor vascularity(p = 0.001) and ease of dissection(p = 0.008) as significant factors for recurrence.CONCLUSIONS:
Hybrid endoscopic and microsurgery demonstrated superior intraoperative visualization, ease of dissection, and postoperative outcomes compared to endoscope-assisted microsurgery with the Quevo device. These findings suggest that the integrated approach may offer better outcomes for multicompartmental lesion excision regarding safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction.Palavras-chave
