The endoscopic management of arachnoidal cysts.
I have little doubt that most arachnoidal cysts will be managed endoscopically in the future given the advances we have seen over the last decade in our instrumentation. Our excitement to employ this new technology should be governed by the reality that we are still learning and that our current success rate is not quite as good as what can be expected when using microneurosurgery.
