Vertical Digitation of the Hippocampus: An Intraventricular Landmark for Amygdalohippocampectomies

Key Points

This research aims to establish vertical digitation of the hippocampus as a reliable anatomical landmark for surgery.
Identified vertical digitation of the hippocampus during surgical procedures.
Evaluated its effectiveness as a reference point for amygdalohippocampectomies.
Assessed surgical outcomes compared to traditional techniques.
Vertical digitation improved surgical precision compared to traditional landmarks.
Enhanced reproducibility of amygdalohippocampectomy techniques was noted.
Surgeons reported increased confidence in achieving complete resection.

Abstract

Our findings support the VDH as a practical anatomic reference for ensuring complete and safe anteromedial temporal resection. This landmark enhances surgical precision, particularly in cases where traditional references are inadequate, and improves the reproducibility of amygdalohippocampectomy techniques.
