Abstract
- This article discusses the use of intraoperative ultrasound (IUS) as an adjunct to the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for the surgical resection of skull base lesions. The authors present a case study where a novel small-probe IUS was used to assist in the resection of a recurrent Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) located in an atypical retrosellar region. The small-probe IUS provided real-time imaging feedback and enhanced visualization, allowing for accurate localization of the cyst and surrounding neurovascular structures. The authors conclude that IUS is a promising surgical adjunct that can potentially increase the extent of resection and decrease operation times. [Extracted from the article]
