Neurosurgery

Minimal invasive surgery has brought many new options in the field of neurosurgery, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of lesions in the ventricles and skull base. The endoscope with different angles allows the anatomical structures to be seen in a hidden areas of the brain that cannot be viewed with an operating microscope. In addition, special endoscopes with instrument channels and their own micro-surgical instruments allow the surgeon to perform a variety of difficult intervention techniques.

Techniques that can be performed entirely by endoscopy include removal of the intraventricular legions, surgery of the pituitary gland and transnasal skull base surgery. Endoscopy can also be used as an adjunct to microsurgery or open surgery to view areas that cannot be directly seen with the naked eye or microscope, improving safety and surgical success rates. Karl Storz offers a wide range of intracranial surgical instruments, as well as access to the skull base and is complete with a high-speed motor system with a variety of drilling attachments, craniotome and perforator.
