Minimally invasive techniques, including stereotaxy and advanced imaging, have revolutionized intracranial neurosurgery. These advancements reduce trauma, enhance precision, and enable new treatments for brain tumors and neurological disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Intracranial neurosurgery traditionally involved significant surgical trauma.
  • Limited access to certain brain regions, like the brain stem, posed challenges for biopsies.
  • Developing less invasive methods was crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of minimally invasive techniques on intracranial neurosurgery.
  • To highlight advancements in stereotaxy, imaging, and endoscopic procedures.
  • To discuss the application of these techniques in treating brain tumors and neurological disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Stereotactic guidance for precise targeting and biopsies.
  • Advanced imaging for surgical planning and navigation.

    • Main Results:

    • Reduced surgical trauma and increased precision in intracranial procedures.
    • Enabled biopsies from previously inaccessible brain sites.
    • Facilitated new treatment modalities like interstitial radiotherapy and radiosurgery for brain tumors.
    • Expanded treatment options for movement disorders, epilepsy, and intractable pain through neurostimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive techniques have significantly improved outcomes in neurosurgery.
    • Stereotaxy, advanced imaging, and endoscopic approaches offer safer and more effective treatments.
    • Future innovations like frameless stereotaxy and automation promise further advancements.
