What is Endoscopic Brain Surgery

Endoscopic brain surgery is a procedure used primarily to treat brain tumors. It is considered a minimally invasive brain surgery that allows neurosurgeons to identify and treat conditions that are deep within the brain.

It can also be used to treat problems with the sinuses. This approach allows the surgeon to reach these areas without the need for large incisions or removal of parts of the skull.

Endoscopic endonasal surgery can be used to remove tumors in areas near the base of the brain or skull, and at the top of the spine.
