The article discusses a study that assessed clinical experience in two tertiary referral centers in Australia and New Zealand in treating midline intracranial pathology using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Data was analyzed based on a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal resection of clival chordomas. Results showed endoscopic resection of clival chordomas as a safe and viable alternative to the traditional open approach.
