It has always been a matter of debate which position is ideal for the supracerebellar approach.

The positioning for the supracerebellar approach has traditionally involved the sitting position, lateral, or prone position. The sitting position allows gravity retraction of the cerebellum, with less cerebellar swelling and venous congestion compared with the prone position. There is less need for cerebellar retraction away from the tentorium with the sitting position compared with the prone and lateral positions.
