ENDOSCOPIC BRAIN SURGERY
When somebody tells us to visit a neurosurgeon, we visualize big ugly scars and long recovery times. Patients harbour a big fear of neurosurgery because of the above reasons. But the future of neurosurgery comprises no to minimal scars, minimized hospital stay, and faster recovery times. Key-hole surgery is an important concept in this effect. Think of an endoscope as a light source mounted on a stick or a wand. Neurosurgeons use the natural openings in the nose to access the base of the brain to have a look at the pathology and operate it. It offers excellent visualization, magnification, and safety in performing the procedure.
WHY KEYHOLE BRAIN SURGERIES ARE BETTER
Where feasible, option of “key hole” brain surgery offers 4 “lesses” to the patient
- Less pain – Minimal incisions cause minimal normal tissue damage which limit post operative pain and pain medications requirement.
- Less risk – Minimum incision and less disruption of normal tissues and pathways result in better risk profile and better postoperative outcome.
- Less time – Surgical time and hospitalization is reduced which potentially decreases period of rest and loss of daily living.
- Less scarring – No or small incisions heal faster and better and

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR THE PATIENT
- Safety:Smaller incisions mean less exposure to the environment, which significantly lowers the risk of infection.
- Less Medication:Patients usually need far fewer painkillers because the surgery itself is less traumatic to the body.
