Clinical and oncological outcomes in single-stage versus staged surgery for pediatric craniopharyngiomas: a multicenter retrospective study

Craniopharyngiomas (CPGs) are aggressive brain tumors responsible of severe morbidity in children. The best treatment strategies are under debate. Our study evaluates surgical, pituitary, and hypothalamic outcomes of a tailored staged-surgical approach compared to a single-stage radical approach in children with CPGs.
