Minimally-invasive neurosurgery refers to a surgical approach in which procedures are performed with minimal disruption to the body's normal structures.
Minimally-invasive neurosurgery is used to treat various conditions affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves with smaller incisions and less tissue damage compared to traditional open surgery.
Here are some common types of minimally-invasive neurosurgery:
Following are the procedure steps:
Preoperative Assessment: Patients undergo thorough preoperative assessments, including imaging studies (MRI, CT scans) to precisely locate the pituitary tumor and plan the surgery.
Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure they are unconscious and pain-free during the procedure.
Incision: A small incision is made, typically in the nasal cavity or upper gum, to create a pathway for the endoscope to reach the pituitary gland. No external incisions on the face or head are needed.
Endoscope Insertion: The neurosurgeon inserts the endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light source and camera, through the incision. The endoscope provides a magnified view of the surgical site on a monitor.
Tumor Removal: Using specialized instruments passed through the endoscope or additional instruments through a second small incision, the surgeon removes or debulks the pituitary tumor.
Hemostasis and Closure: Hemostasis (control of bleeding) is achieved, and the incision site is closed. In some cases, absorbable packing may be placed to minimize postoperative bleeding.
Recovery: The patient is monitored in the recovery room and then transferred to a hospital room. The recovery period for minimally-invasive neurosurgery is often shorter compared to traditional open surgery.
