Endoscopic transventricular selective amygdalohippocampectomy: cadaveric demonstration of a new operative approach.
12
TL;DR: The technique of endoscopic amygdalohippocampectomy (AH) is described and knowledge of the endoscopic anatomy of the mesial temporal lobe will be useful for endoscopic AH and the removal of other lesions in this region.

Creation of a novel simulator for minimally invasive neurosurgery: fusion of 3D printing and special effects
Peter Weinstock,Roberta Rehder,Sanjay P. Prabhu,Peter W. Forbes,Christopher J. Roussin,Alan R. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: A plug-and-play lifelike ETV training model was developed through a combination of 3D printing and special effects techniques, providing both anatomical and haptic accuracy, thus allowing novice neurosurgeons to gain valuable experience in surgical techniques without exposing patients to risk of harm.
Selective Amygdalohippocampectomy
Alastair Hoyt,Kris A. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Selective amygdalohippocampectomy is an effective treatment for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy that spares uninvolved structures.

The origin and evolution of neuroendoscopy
TL;DR: The origins of this vital field to ancient times are traced, and it is shown that much of its success is due to the brilliant minds of some luminaries such as Philipp Bozzini and Harold Hopkins.

New endoscopic route to the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle: surgical simulation and morphometric assessment.
Jose Juan González Sánchez,Jordina Rincon-Torroella,Alberto Prats-Galino,Matteo de Notaris,Joan Berenguer,Enrique Ferrer Rodríguez,Arnau Benet +6 more
TL;DR: This approach provides minimally invasive endoscopic access to the uncal recess, amygdala, hippocampus, fornix, and paraventricular temporal lobe structures and makes this approach anatomically feasible and replicable.

TL;DR: A single Class I study and 24 Class IV studies indicate that the benefits of anteromesial temporal lobe resection for disabling complex partial seizures is greater than continued treatment with antiepileptic drugs, and the risks are at least comparable.

Practice Parameter: Temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for epilepsy: Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology, in Association with the American Epilepsy Society and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons
TL;DR: In the article “Practice Parameter: Temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for …”, the aim of the study was to establish a relationship between the activity of the temporal lobe and the neocortices of the brain.

Selective amygdalohippocampectomy as a surgical treatment of mesiobasal limbic epilepsy
Heinz Gregor Wieser,M G Yasargil +1 more
TL;DR: In more than half of the patients a clear-cut general improvement in tests of intellectual performance was found and this indicates that this type of psychomotor epilepsy can be treated more successfully in ths new way than by the classic removal of the temporal lobe or by stereotactic methods.

TL;DR: Neuropsychological testing revealed better postoperative results after limited resections compared with standard ATL, especially with regard to attention level, verbal memory, and calculated total neuropsychological performance.

Temporal lobe epilepsy surgery and the quest for optimal extent of resection: a review.
TL;DR: It must be concluded that class I evidence concerning seizure outcome related to type and extent of resection of mesial temporal lobe structures is rare and it remains unclear whether a larger mesial resection extent leads to better seizure outcome.
