A Multi-institutional Comparison of Transcranial versus Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches for Planum and Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas

We sought to evaluate the surgical outcomes from two institutions with polarized preferences and expansive experience in endoscopic endonasal (EEA) and transcranial approaches (TC) at each one.
