Neuroendoscopy

Razvoj moderne endoskopske neurokirurgije vezan je uz tehnološki razvoj endoskopa i minijaturizaciju endoskopske opreme. Unatoè èinjenici da se zaèeci neuroendoskopije vežu uz poèetak dvadesetog stoljeæa, integracija neuroendoskopije u standardnu neurokiruršku praksu još nije u potpunosti zaživjela. Neuroendoskopija u užem smislu obuhvaæa intraventrikularnu patologiju, posebno terapiju razlièitih oblika hidrocefalusa. Neurokirurške endoskopske tehnike danas su našle mjesto u svim podruèjima neurokirurgije, od kirurgije kralježnice do tehnièki zahtjevne kirurgije lubanjske baze. Danas neuroendoskopija zajedno s mikroneurokirurgijom objedinjuje koncept minimalno invazivne neurokirurške tehnike.Development of modern endoscopic neurosurgery is related to the technical improvement of endoscopic equipment and endoscopic instruments miniaturization. Despite the fact that the beginning of neuroendoscopy dates to early twentieth century, the integration of neuroendoscopy into common neurosurgical practice in still not complete. Neuroendoscopy in general relates to intraventricular neuroendoscopy, especially for the treatment of various forms of hydrocephalus. Neurosurgical endoscopic techniques have found their place in all areas of neurosurgery, from spinal surgery to the technically demanding skull base surgery. Today, neuroendoscopy along with microneurosurgery incorporates the concept of minimally invasive neurosurgery.e
