Tuberculum Sella Meningioma Debate: Above or Below? Part 2
7th March, 2026, 14:25 - 15:25
Pacific A

`Tuberculum Sella Meningioma Debate: Above or Below?` focuses on surgical strategy, whether to approach these tumors via a transcranial (open) route versus an endoscopic endonasal (below) corridor. These two sessions adopt a case‑based format with audience polling before and after discussions to gauge opinions, and moderator‑led reviews of published evidence comparing outcomes of each approach. Presenters emphasize the anatomical constraints of the tuberculum sella region, visual results, risks of cerebrospinal fluid leak, and recurrence rates tied to approach selection. The sessions will be beneficial for neurosurgeons and ENT surgeons in practice and training. It would also be beneficial to advanced practice providers

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Compare and contrast the transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches to tuberculum sella meningiomas, with emphasis on surgical anatomy, indications, limitations, and outcomes.
• Evaluate the clinical and radiographic criteria that influence selection of surgical approach.
• Analyze postoperative outcomes such as visual improvement, complication rates.
• Integrate evidence-based data and expert opinions to guide individualized, patient-specific decision-making in the management of sellar and parasellar meningiomas.
