Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery I

Endoscopic neurosurgical interventions gain in importance.This book gives adetailed description of the recent indi-cations of endoscopic procedures inmodern neurosurgery.They include endoscopic stereotaxy, endoscopic evacuationsof intracerebral hematomas, cysts and abscesses as well asendoscopic interventions on brain tumors. An extended over-view about the usable endoscopes and the operative equipmentis pointed out
