Neuroendoscopy

Neuroendoscopy is a popular technique used to treat serious central nervous system disorders, including those affecting the brain and spinal cord, or to repair craniofacial damage. It helps surgeons reach parts of the brain that are difficult to reach with traditional incision surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a dime or two-sized incisions, or holes, in the skull to insert the endoscope. Alternatively, you can use the cavities of the mouth or nose to access the brain through the sinuses.

The procedure can be performed to remove a small sample of suspected tumors for further diagnosis. Later, once the tissue is confirmed to be a tumor, the procedure can be performed to completely remove the tumor. Neuroendoscopy is used to treat a variety of tumors and cancers, cysts, neurological disorders, neurovascular disorders, and trauma-induced damage.
