Endoscopic Intracranial Craniofacial and Monobloc Osteotomies with the Aid of a Malleable High-Speed Pneumatic Drill: A Cadaveric and Clinical Study
2000
Endoscopic techniques are now an accepted part of the surgical armamentarium and are used routinely in a number of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Endoscopic techniques are now being used commonly by plastic surgeons in forehead and face lifts. In both craniofacial surgery and in neurosurgery, the application of endoscopy potentially allows the surgical team to perform wide dissection of the dura mater in a minimally invasive fashion, thereby potentially reducing the risk of dural and brain injury. Also reduced by this surgical approach is potential injury to the major venous structures, such as the sagittal sinus, along with overall reduced bleeding. After an extensive laboratory …
Cirugía mínimamente invasiva en craneoestenosis
2006
En el presente trabajo se describe la experiencia en craneoestenosis con cirugía mínimamente invasiva, evaluando el diseño y eficacia de un nuevo craneotomo en cadáveres así como su aplicación clínica en un caso de sinostósis sagital con instrumentación endoscópica. Este procedimiento es sin duda un gran recurso en el tratamiento de las craneoestenosis brindando los beneficios de la cirugía mínimamente invasiva, eliminando la necesidad de grandes incisiones, disminuyendo el sangrado quirúrgico, reduciendo estancia hospitalaria y disminuyendo la morbilidad operatoria
Endoscopic dissection of dura and craniotomy with minimal trephines: a preliminary series.
1998
The first nine clinical cases using endoscopic dissection of dura and craniotomy with minimal trephines were performed from June to August 1997 after trial dissection of 19 fresh cadavers conducted at the University of Brno's Pathology Institute in the Czech Republic. These procedures involved the refinement of craniofacial and intracranial surgical techniques using the endoscope and prototype instruments. These dissections demonstrated that intracranial structures can be explored using an endoscope without encumbrance, and that major craniofacial surgeries may also be performed with minor incisions and minimal craniotomies. Furthermore, we seek to illustrate that use of the endoscope in cr…
