These advantages of minimally invasive microsurgery contribute to improved postoperative results, including shorter hospitalization time because of reduction of the risk for complications. However, small sized minimally invasive approaches cause two important limitations: the significant...

INTRAVENTRICULAR NEUROENDOSCOPY

MINOP ® Intraventricular Neuroendoscopic System Minimally Invasive Neuroendoscopic OPeration

The genesis of endoscopic surgery within the ventricular compartment can be attributed to the development of small caliber rod lens optics, fiberoptic light transmission and dedicated instrumentation. Since the advent of intraventricular endoscopic surgery, neurosurgeons have applied the technology to treat a number of disorders. While the enthusiasm has been great and the full potential not yet realized, a major benefit to the patient has been proven for selected conditions. Most notably the treatment of non-communicating hydrocephalus, management of patients with pineal region tumors, fenestration...
