Abstract
Background: In navigation-guided endoscopic surgery performed via a single port, the interference of surgical instruments often disturbs the resection and hemostasis. Case Description: With regard to this, we designed a dual-port technique for navigation-guided endoscopic surgery in a 62-year-old man, with intraparenchymal anaplastic astrocytoma. Two transparent sheaths with Nelaton tubes were inserted in the front of the target lesion via an infinity-shaped burr hole, under the control of the navigation system. The lesion was removed partially using a rigid endoscope and several surgical tools through the bilateral ports. Using the new method, it was convenient to perform hemostasis with bipolar coagulation and aspiration, without any interference from the surgical instruments during the surgery. Conclusion: The offered dual-port technique may be included in surgery planning for elderly patients or patients in particular conditions, with intraparenchymal brain tumors.
