Paper Abstract
A new approach for the endoscopic stereotactic laser surgery using open-system endoscopy; i.e., employing a stereotactic guiding tube and fine endoscopes, is described. Accurate resection of deep-seated intra-axial brain lesions was achieved using Nd:Yag and CO2 lasers with efficient hemostasis under CT/MR image guidance. Stereotactic endoscopic laser surgery is considered a promising new method for the treatment of deep-seated brain pathologies for which biopsy or irradiation was the only therapeutic method.
