Researchers developed a novel full endoscopic technique for brachial plexus exploration. This minimally invasive approach offers excellent visualization and dissection capabilities in cadavers, paving the way for improved diagnostic and treatment options.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Anatomy

Background:

Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly vital in surgical practice.
Refining diagnostic and treatment methods for brachial plexus conditions is essential.
Endoscopic approaches offer potential advantages over traditional open surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe a full endoscopic technique for brachial plexus exploration.
To evaluate the feasibility and visualization capabilities of this new endoscopic method.

Main Methods:

A full endoscopic technique was developed for brachial plexus exploration.
The technique involved saline liquid infusion in seven brachial plexuses from four cadavers.
Five distinct surgical portals and key endoscopic landmarks were identified and described.
