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.
