Neuroendoscopy by Dr S Narayan - Neurosurgeon in Jamshedpur
What is Neuroendoscopy?
Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by skilled neurosurgeon to diagnose and treat various neurological conditions within the brain and spinal cord. Using small, specialized instruments and a tiny camera (endoscope), neurosurgeon can access and visualize areas of the brain that were once difficult to reach without extensive surgery.
Benefits of Neuroendoscopy Surgery:
Minimally Invasive: Neuroendoscopy involves smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This reduction in incision size decreases trauma to surrounding tissues. As a result, patients experience faster recovery times.
Enhanced Visualization: The high-definition camera of the endoscope provides neurosurgeons with detailed images of the surgical site. This feature allows for precise navigation and improves accuracy during procedures.
Reduced Risk: Neuroendoscopy minimizes the need for extensive craniotomies or spinal laminectomies. This reduction lowers the risk of complications such as infection and bleeding.
Targeted Treatment: Neuroendoscopy enables neurosurgeons to access specific regions of the brain or spine with greater precision. This approach facilitates targeted treatment of conditions such as tumors, hydrocephalus, and cysts.
Shorter Hospital Stays: Neuroendoscopy has a minimally invasive nature and offers quicker recovery times. This often allows patients to return home sooner. As a result, patients experience a faster return to normal activities and an improved quality of life.
Conditions Treated with Neuroendoscopy
Brain Tumors: Neuroendoscopy can biopsy or remove certain types of brain tumors. This includes pituitary adenomas and colloid cysts. The procedure achieves this with minimal disruption to surrounding brain tissue.
Hydrocephalus: Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Neurosurgeons can effectively treat this condition with neuroendoscopic procedures such as ventriculostomy or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
Spinal Disorders: Neuroendoscopy increasingly treats spinal conditions such as spinal cord tumors, syringomyelia, and arachnoid cysts. This approach offers a less invasive alternative to traditional spinal surgery.
