Abstract: During last years a number of tubular retractor systems were described for endoscopically removal of ventricular and periventricular brain tumors. However, these methods are too expensive for underdevelopment countries. In a previously report an inexpensive and simple cylindrical channel retractor was described. We describe the results of this alternative method with some technical variations in a cohort of patients with deep brain metastases and discuss the technical aspects.
