Retractorless surgery for third ventricle tumor resection through the transcallosal approach

Resection of tumors of the third ventricle through the transcallosal-interforniceal approach presents a surgical challenge with potential serious postoperative neurological deficits and complications. Retraction injury of the deep brain tissue and veins is a possible reason. Here, we aimed to investigate the feasibility and value of retractorless surgery in third ventricle tumor resection.
