Unlike laparoscopic or thoracoscopic procedures, intracranial surgery often requires traversal of normal brain parenchyma, limiting the creation of multiple access routes. However, after resection of intraparenchymal tumors, a postoperative cavity frequently remains and may serve as a potential working space for endoscopic manipulation. The feasibility of using such cavities for multi-port endoscopic tumor resection has not yet been established.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case description<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 72-year-old man had previously undergone gross total resection of a contrast-enhanced lesion, followed by radiochemotherapy for a right frontal glioblastoma. Ten months later, a small, locally recurrent enhancing lesion developed along the posterior wall of the resection cavity. Given the patient's advanced age, comorbid diabetes mellitus, and the superficial location of recurrence, a minimally invasive multi-port endoscopic resection was planned. Limited reopening of the original skin incision was performed without removal of the bone flap. Two ports were created: one at the edge of the craniotomy and another through a 5-mm hole in the bone flap directly above the resection cavity. Tumor resection was performed under endoscopic visualization using an ultrasonic aspirator with real-time neuronavigation guidance. The multi-port configuration enabled stress-free bimanual manipulation without instrument interference. Near-total resection was achieved, with a residual enhancing tumor &amp;lt;1\u2005cm in size. The postoperative course was uneventful.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case demonstrates the feasibility of a minimally invasive multi-port endoscopic approach utilizing a pre-existing resection cavity for recurrent intracranial lesions. When a superficial and accessible postoperative cavity is present, this strategy may reduce surgical invasiveness and wound-related complications while providing a favorable operative environment.<\/jats:p>\n
