This operative video demonstrates the microsurgical clipping of a clinoidal segment carotid artery aneurysm, highlighting microsurgical exposure, intradural anterior clinoidectomy for proximal vascular control, circumferential neck dissection, and clip application

Microsurgical Clip Reconstruction of a Right Large Middle Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Aneurysm

Authors: Prof. P. Sarat Chandra, Dr. Sarvesh Goyal, Dr. Mahnaaz Azeem Sultana

This operative video demonstrates the microsurgical clip reconstruction of a large right middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm, highlighting key microsurgical techniques for dissection of a MCA bifurcation aneurysm, dissection of M2 branches and perforators, and clip reconstruction of the aneurysm neck and preservation of the parent and branch vessels with the use of intraoperative ICG angiography and micro-Doppler to assess flow.

Microsurgical Excision of Right Temporal Arteriovenous Malformation

Authors: Prof. P. S. Chandra, Prof. Pankaj Kumar Singh, Dr. Sarvesh Goval, Dr. Priya Narwal, Dr. Aryan Raj Singh.

This operative video demonstrates the microsurgical excision of a right temporal arteriovenous malformation (AVM), highlighting the key microsurgical steps, vascular control, nidus dissection, and safe removal of the malformation.

Facial–Hypoglossal Anastomosis with Split Nerve Graft

Authors: Prof. P. Sarat Chandra, Dr. Sarvesh Goyal

This operative video demonstrates the surgical technique for facial nerve reanimation in patients with facial nerve palsy. The procedure involves performing a longitudinal split of the hypoglossal nerve and anastomosis with the facial nerve, which reduces long-term tongue morbidity and speech and swallowing difficulties.

Left Far Lateral Approach for Foramen Magnum Meningioma

Authors: Prof. P. Sarat Chandra, Dr. Sarvesh Goyal

This operative video demonstrates the left far lateral approach for the microsurgical management of a foramen magnum meningioma, highlighting the far lateral approach for surgical exposure of a craniovertebral junction lesion, exposure and mobilization of V3 and V4 segments of vertebral artery, and tumor dissection of a foramen magnum meningioma

Three-Step Orbitozygomatic Approach for Craniopharyngioma: Operative Video

Authors: Dr. Pablo S. Paolinelli, Dr. Tomas Saavedra Azcona, Dr. Florencia Casto, Dr. Ezequiel Jungberg, Dr. Nicolas Tilano, Dr. Joan Pazos, Dr. William Blettler, Dr. Juan Cruz Meilan, Dr. Pedro Plou, Dr. Pablo Ajler

Institution: Department of Adult Neurosurgery, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This operative video demonstrates the three-step frontotemporo-orbitozygomatic (FTOZ) approach for craniopharyngioma resection. The FTOZ approach flattens the surgical trajectory, reduces brain retraction, and provides multiple surgical corridors, including the opticocarotid, carotidoculomotor, and trans-lamina terminalis routes, facilitating early optic decompression and safer resection of deep-seated, extensive lesions.

Microsurgical Resection of Medullary Hemangioblastoma in Sitting Position

Authors: Prof. Hitesh Kumar Gurjar, Dr. Sarvesh Goyal

This operative video demonstrates the microsurgical resection of a medullary hemangioblastoma in the sitting position, highlighting the surgical approach for a brainstem (medullary) hemangioblastoma, identification and control of feeding vessels, meticulous tumor dissection, and safe resection of the lesion.

Left Anterior Temporal Lobectomy with Amygdalohippocampectomy for Left Mesial Temporal Sclerosis

Authors: Prof. Poodipedi Sarat Chandra, Prof. Ramesh Doddamani, Dr. Sarvesh Goyal, Prof. Manjari Tripathi

Institution: Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India.

This video demonstrates left anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocampectomy for drug-resistant epilepsy associated with left mesial temporal sclerosis. Utilizing surface anatomical landmarks, a mini-temporal craniotomy can be performed even in peripheral centers without neuronavigation, offering good cosmetic results and favourable seizure outcomes.

This operative video using the interhemispheric corridor is an elegant, minimally invasive, safe, and efficacious technique for appropriately selected children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Performed through a keyhole craniotomy, it offers the advantages of minimal blood loss and reduced morbidity compared with open techniques requiring larger craniotomies.
