The surgeon should drill efficiently through the outer cortical layer and cancellous bone. However, they must carefully shell out the inner cortical layer to minimize transmitting drill vibrations to the dura and cortex. Learn more here | https://zurl.co/VHZK.

When creating a burr hole or bone flap, what anatomical details of the skull bone must be considered to prevent complications, and how should the surgeon manage each layer of the bone during the procedure?

Navigating around the cerebellum during a retromastoid craniotomy to access the CP angle cisterns is a delicate and complex step, particularly in posterior fossa procedures like microvascular decompression. Careful technique is essential, as this can be one of the most challenging and high-risk aspects of the operation. Let’s take a closer look.

Tumor enucleation allows the superior pole of the tumor to be rolled inferiorly, and the egress of cerebrospinal fluid around this pole confirms entry into the fourth ventricle. Learn more here | https://zurl.co/gOUl.

During tumor enucleation in the fourth ventricle, how does manipulation of the superior pole of the tumor assist in confirming entry into the ventricle?

"The Virtual Operating Room" welcomes Dr. Bill Couldwell, Chairman and Professor at the University of Utah, renowned as a master surgeon and mentor. His contributions have not only advanced the technical landscape of neurosurgery but also shaped its future through the countless individuals he has guided. In this session, Dr. Couldwell explores the technical nuances of revascularization surgery, a vital but increasingly rare art that remains essential for complex cases. This presentation highlights the importance of preserving this expertise for the benefit of neurosurgery’s next generation. Access this lecture with your Neurosurgical Atlas subscription.
