A new multidirectional endoscope offers superior 3D visualization in neurosurgery compared to traditional methods. This advanced EndActive endoscope improves accuracy in identifying anatomical markers and tumors within the brain.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Endoscopic Technology

Background:

  • Traditional neuro-endoscopy is limited by 2D views, complicating surgical interventions.
  • A novel rigid endoscope with variable direction view has been developed to provide 3D visualization.
  • This technology aims to overcome the limitations of current endoscopic approaches in neurosurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of a new multidirectional endoscope (EndActive) against standard neuro-endoscopes.
  • To assess the visualization capabilities and accuracy in identifying structures within brain models.
  • To compare the efficacy of the EndActive endoscope in a simulated neurosurgical environment.

Main Methods:

  • A prototype EndActive endoscope with a 360-degree variable view controlled by a joystick was tested on two brain models.

  • Performance was compared to standard rigid endoscopes (0, 30, 70 degrees) and a projection map.
  • Ten neurosurgeons evaluated the endoscope's accuracy in identifying labeled projections and simulated intraventricular tumors.

    • Main Results:

    • The multidirectional endoscope visualized all 8 markers, unlike standard endoscopes (max 4/8).
    • It demonstrated higher accuracy in marker identification (p=0.031) and identified 96% of simulated tumors.
    • The best performance in identification tasks was achieved using the flat projection map derived from the endoscope data.

    Conclusions:

    • The EndActive endoscope provides complete 3D visualization through adjustable viewing direction.
    • This multidirectional endoscope offers superior visualization compared to standard neuro-endoscopy.
    • The technology has the potential to enhance surgical precision and outcomes in neurosurgical procedures.
