Endoscopic Cyst Fenestration
The procedure is performed through a small incision (approximately
1 inch), the location being dictated based upon the location
of the cyst. From this site, the endoscope is inserted into
the cyst and the wall of the cyst is then opened into one
of the natural fluid chambers of the brain. With this opening,
the fluid can then exit the cyst and get absorbed through
normal means. This procedure averages 30 minutes to 1 hour
and patients can return home the following day.
