Abstract
Endoscopic neurosurgical techniques have been used for a variety of intracranial pathological conditions for several decades (3–5, 7, 8, 10–13). Two new technical advances have made a reappraisal of endoscopic neurosurgery worth considering: One is the development of ultrasound imaging for intraoperative use to guide the endoscope to the target area. The other is the development of fiberoptic tubes for the application of Nd:YAG laser energy through the endoscope, and continuous visual control of the target area with the aid of miniaturized TV cameras used under sterile conditions.
