About the Procedure
Pineal tumors are located in a deep and delicate region of the brain. Their location near critical structures makes surgical access challenging.
Using the lateral sitting position, neurosurgeons gain:
- Better surgical ergonomics, reducing fatigue during long procedures
- Improved access and visibility of the pineal region
- Safer manipulation of deep brain structures
Additionally, the intraoperative use of fluorescein dye allows for enhanced visualization of the tumor, ensuring precise and complete removal while preserving healthy tissue.
