Introduction

Neurosurgery using Endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows a surgeon to go through the nose to operate on areas at the front of the brain and the top of the spine.  A thin tube called an endoscope is thread through your nose and sinuses.

Neuroendoscopy enables neurosurgeons to:

• Access areas of the brain that cannot be reached with traditional surgery
• Remove the tumor without cutting or harming other parts of the skull

Benefits of Neuroendoscopy:

Neuroendoscopy results in:

• Less pain than traditional surgery
• Faster recovery than traditional surgery
• Minimal scarring

Minimally invasive endoscopic brain surgery requires a smaller opening and less brain retraction when compared with the conventional surgery. Better visualization and less retraction makes surgery safer. In addition, as smaller incisions utilized and less tissue disruption is caused, endoscopic neurosurgery is general less painful and has a quicker recovery than open surgery.
