Advanced Techniques for Treating Brain and Nerve Disorders with Dr. Mohamed Fathi Alsawy.
Endoscopic surgery represents a breakthrough in neurosurgery, combining high precision with minimally invasive techniques. This approach has enabled better patient outcomes while reducing recovery time and surgical complications.
What is Surgical Endoscopy?
Surgical endoscopy involves a thin tube equipped with a camera and fine lenses, used to access delicate areas within the brain or spine through very small incisions. The camera transmits clear, magnified images to a high-resolution screen, allowing the surgeon to see fine details that are often difficult to observe in traditional open surgeries.
Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery
- Smaller incisions: Less pain, minimal blood loss, and smaller scars.
- High precision due to magnified, three-dimensional visualization.
- Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
- Preservation of healthy tissue and lower risk of complications.
- Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily life.
Conditions Treated with Endoscopy
Endoscopy is used for a wide range of brain and nerve surgeries, including:
- Superficial and deep brain tumors.
- Pituitary gland tumors.
- Hydrocephalus through internal cerebrospinal fluid diversion.
- Removal of brain cysts or cystic formations.
- Certain cases of brain hemorrhage.
How is the procedure performed?
- A very small incision is made in the skull or through the nose (depending on the type of surgery).
- The endoscope with a camera is inserted to provide a detailed view of the targeted area.
- Specialized surgical tools are introduced through side channels of the endoscope to remove tumors or treat the problem.
- The small incision is closed, and the patient is monitored for a short period.
