    Frameless neuronavigation is beneficial in select intracranial endoscopic procedures, improving accuracy and minimizing brain trauma. It is essential for complex cysts but not for standard procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Endoscopic Surgery

    Background:

    • Frameless neuronavigation is increasingly used in intracranial endoscopic neurosurgery.
    • Clear indications for its application in neuroendoscopy are not yet defined.

    Discussion:

    • Neuronavigation guided surgeons precisely to targets in 44 patients undergoing various intracranial endoscopic procedures.
    • It proved helpful in navigating small ventricles, narrow foramen of Monro, and colloid cysts.
    • Essential for intraparenchymal cysts and multiloculated hydrocephalus lacking clear landmarks.

    Key Insights:

    • Frameless neuronavigation is accurate, reliable, and useful in selected intracranial neuroendoscopic procedures.
    • Image-guided neuroendoscopy enhances accuracy and minimizes brain trauma.

  • Not necessary for standard third ventriculostomies, tumor biopsies, or large arachnoid cysts.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research can refine indications for neuronavigation in specific neuroendoscopic techniques.
    • Integration of neuronavigation may become standard for complex intracranial pathologies.
    • Potential for reduced invasiveness and improved patient outcomes in neurosurgery.
