Neuroendoscopic Surgery

The development and refinement of neuroendoscopy has been driven by the persistent desire of neurosurgeons to advance
the field and offer less invasive, more efficacious options to patients. This remarkable multimedia book reflects the
technological advances achieved in the last two decades in fiber optics, cold light, cameras, and endoscopic
instrumentation. Written by an impressive Who’s Who of international neurosurgeons, the outstanding text and videos
reflect global contributions to neuroendoscopy.

Current indications for intracranial and intraventricular endoscopy are described in depth, through detailed chapters,
stellar videos, professional animations, and exquisite illustrations. The authors share their clinical expertise on
procedures ranging from endoscopic third ventriculostomy to transventricular approach of the fourth ventricle. Cover to
cover, this book details the differences, alternatives, advantages, and limitations of the flexible neuroendoscope.

This hands-on learning tool will enable neurosurgeons to perform endoscopy of the ventricles and basal cisterns for
exploratory purposes and conditions such as hydrocephalus, congenital aqueductal stenosis, tumors, hypothalamic
hamartoma, arachnoid cysts, and neurocysticercosis. Additional topics include endoscopic-assisted microvascular
decompression and aneurysm surgery, fluorescence, complications, anesthesia, utilization in developing countries, and
future trends.
