Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Residual and Recurrent Craniopharyngioma after Transcranial Approach

Objectives: While the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has become a well-established option for resection of craniopharyngiomas (CP), the utility of this procedure following prior open transcranial approach (TCA) surgery has been studied to a limited degree. Here, we present a multi-institutional case series of patients who underwent EEA for resection of recurrent or progressive CP after previous TCA to investigate the endocrinologic and visual outcomes achieved as well as the associated complication rate.
