Article Abstract
Trans-sulcal minimally invasive parafascicular surgery is an emerging technique to approach deep lesions with minimal brain retraction. Localization of the tubular retractor during surgery is critical, and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging and neuronavigation present limitations. We describe the intraoperative use of O-Arm® coupled with pre-operative tractography to precisely localize the tubular retractor. With air acting as contrast, the tubular retractor was localized in three dimensions, without any additional disruption to white matter tracts or nearby vascular structures. We conclude that visualization of tubular retractor using an intraoperative computerized tomography scan is a safe and feasible adjunct in resection of deep lesions via a minimally invasive approach.

We present a case of third ventricle colloid cyst surgical resection using a tubular-based endoscopic transcortical approach. Third ventricle colloid are rare benign lesions typically found in the anterolateral part of the third ventricle, close to the foramen of Monro. Several surgical approaches have been employed for their management.

Objective: Minimal invasive spine surgery with tubular retractor system avoids contralateral laminectomy, minimizes manipulation of midline supportive structures, and reduces surgical morbidity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of microscopic minimal invasive tubular retractor system for intradural spinal tumor resection.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 70 patients who were admitted between January 2017 and January 2024 with intradural spinal tumors and underwent excision with microscopic minimal invasive tubular retractor system.

Department of Neurosurgery, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Objective: Deeply located intracranial lesions such as intraparenchymal and intraventricular lesions are surgically challenging and associated with unavoidable complications such as seizure, surgical bed hematoma, and brain contusion caused by traction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the microscopic tubular retractor of a plastic syringe for the resection of deeply located brain lesions.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied 157 patients with deep-seated intracranial lesions who underwent microscopic resection with the help of a tubular retractor made of a plastic syringe and Teflon introducer between January 2018 and January 2024 in a tertiary hospital.

Department of Neurosurgery, Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that infrequently involve the central nervous system, particularly the spine. Spinal SFTs are typically intradural extramedullary lesions that mimic common tumors such as meningiomas or schwannomas. Our case highlights how an atypical spinal SFT was diagnosed on magnetic resonance (MR) and successfully resected.
