DPDomenico PolicicchioGMGiuseppe MauroETErica Lo Turco

Key Points

  • To compare clinical outcomes of prone versus lateral positioning for posterior supratentorial cerebral pathologies.
  • Retrospective comparative analysis conducted at two centers.
  • Data collected on patients with posterior supratentorial cerebral pathologies.
  • Comparative outcomes assessed between prone and lateral positioning.
  • Both positions showed comparable clinical outcomes.
  • No specific patient or pathology characteristics favored either position.

Abstract

Prone and lateral positioning showed comparable clinical outcomes. No specific patient/pathology characteristics clearly favored one position over the other. Positioning choice should therefore rely mainly on surgical strategy and team experience.
