In this session of The Neurosurgical Case Room, we discuss surgical approaches to the medulla oblongata, focusing on the telovelar approach and the far lateral approach in posterior fossa surgery.
The video integrates suboccipital craniectomy, cerebellomedullary fissure dissection, and anatomical corridors to safely access intrinsic medullary and fourth ventricular lesions. Emphasis is placed on surgical anatomy, approach selection, and operative strategy for brainstem pathology.
Designed for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and early-career consultants preparing for board examinations or refining brainstem surgery principles.
