    Abstract Background: The surgical approaches of colloid cysts commonly include endoscopy or open microsurgery. Each approach carries its own challenges, feasibility, and complications. The aim of the current study is to compare endoscopic versus open microsurgical excision of third ventricular colloid cysts.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare the surgical outcomes of endoscopic versus open microsurgical (transcortical-transventricular and transcallosal approaches) excision of colloid cyst of the third ventricle at a tertiary-care medical institute. All patients with a neuroradiologic diagnosis of colloid cyst who subsequently underwent surgical management between January 2003 and June 2020 were included. The neurologic outcome was assessed at the last follow-up visit.
    Results: A total of 32 patients with colloid cysts were included in the study. The mean age was 35.8 ± 18.3 years (range, 4-75 years). Female patients slightly outnumbered male patients (n = 17; 53.1%). A total of 21 patients (65.6%) underwent endoscopic resection of the colloid cyst. Complications were encountered in 7 patients (endoscopic, n = 3; microsurgery, n = 4; P = 0.151). Recurrence was identified in 4 patients (endoscopic, n = 3; microsurgery, n = 1; P = 0.673). Most patients improved neurologically on follow-up visits to the clinic (endoscopic, n = 19; microsurgery, n = 9; P = 0.482).
    Conclusions: Both endoscopic and microsurgical approaches provide favorable surgical outcomes in colloid cyst resection. The complication rates between both approaches is statistically insignificant. The optimal surgical approach for colloid cyst resection remains controversial.

    Abstract Objective: Quantitative documentation of the effects of outbreaks, including the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, is limited in neurosurgery. Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on neurosurgical practice and to determine whether surgical procedures are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
    Methods: A multicenter case-control study was conducted, involving patients who underwent neurosurgical intervention in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during 2 periods: pre-COVID-19 and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The surgical intervention data evaluated included diagnostic category, case priority, complications, length of hospital stay, and 30-day mortality.
    Results: A total of 850 procedures were included, 36% during COVID-19. The median number of procedures per day was significantly lower during the COVID-19 period (5.5 cases) than during the pre-COVID-19 period (12 cases; P < 0.0001). Complications, length of hospital stay, and 30-day mortality did not differ during the pandemic. In a multivariate analysis comparing both periods, case priority levels 1 (immediate) (odds ratio [OR], 1.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-2.67), 1 (1-24 h) (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.10-2.41), and 4 (OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.19-0.42) showed significant differences.
    Conclusions: During the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall number of neurosurgical procedures declined, but the load of emergency procedures remained the same, thus highlighting the need to allocate sufficient resources for emergencies. More importantly, performing neurosurgical procedures during the pandemic in regions with limited effects of the outbreak on the health care system was safe. Our findings may aid in developing guidelines for acute and long-term care during pandemics in surgical subspecialties.
