The results of exoscope-assisted resection of intracranial meningiomas have only been addressed in few case reports. We retrospectively compared the results of exoscope and microscope-assisted surgery of falx and parasagittal meningiomas.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We included all consecutive adult patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200936) with falx or parasagittal meningioma who were operated with curative intention during an 8-year period by one senior neurosurgeon. The operations were performed either with a surgical microscope (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200916; Zeiss Kinevo or Pentero 900) or a digital 3D exoscope (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920, Aesculap Aeos). We reviewed the pre- and postoperative radiological images, clinical examinations and surgical reports to assess clinical outcomes and complications. We also analyzed surgical videos.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Gross-total resection (Simpson grade I-II) was achieved in approximately 90% of the patients in both groups (89% in exoscope and 92% in microscope group). The duration of the operation was slightly longer (117 vs. 88\u00a0min) in the exoscope group. Surgical outcomes were comparable, despite there being larger tumors (median diameter 53 vs. 38\u00a0mm) with higher grades (WHO Grade 2\u20133: 45% vs. 19%) in the exoscope group. Transient postoperative complications were more frequent in the exoscope group (40 vs. 25%) mainly related to the larger tumor size.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The digital 3D exoscope is an effective tool for performing surgery on falx and parasagittal meningiomas.
