Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE NEUROSURGERY:
Keyhole surgery is possible because of refinements in micro-instrumentation, surgical navigation techniques and expanded visualization with the surgical microscope and endoscope. These recent advances are described here.
For providing a wide-angled panoramic surgical view
For more precise localization of intracranial structures (like “GPS for the brain”)
For localizing large arteries and veins in the brain and skull base
For working through small surgical portals
