Background Fluorescence-guided microsurgical resections of high-grade gliomas using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is superior to conventional microsurgery. An optical device, usually a modified microscope, is needed for these procedures. However, an exoscope may be implemented for fluorescence techniques. We present the use of an exoscope to perform tumor resection guided by 5-ALA fluorescence in 21 consecutive […]
La introducción de la resección guiada por fluorescencia permite una mejor identificación del tejido tumoral y su resección más radical. Describimos nuestra experiencia con un exoscopio modificado para detectar la emisión fluorescente del 5-ALA (acido aminolevulínico) en cirugía cerebral asistida con neuronavegación o en biopsias de tumores cerebrales.

A shortage of neurosurgeons and a lack of knowledge of neuroendoscopic management of hydrocephalus limits modern care in sub-Saharan Africa. Hence, a mobile teaching project for endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) procedures and a subsequent program to develop neurosurgery as a permanent specialty in Kenya and Zanzibar were created and sponsored by the Neurosurgery Education and […]
