Neuroendoscopy Program - Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

  • Our neuroendoscopy team has treated many patients since 1993 and the neuroendoscope can be used to perform the entire operation, often through a small hole or in combination with the surgical microscope (endoscope-assisted).
  • This minimally invasive neurosurgery has the advantages of a small incision and minimal trauma to the brain or spinal cord, which results in a shorter hospital stay for patients and a quicker return to normal activities.
  • Our team is developing new endoscopes and other surgical instruments.
