Exoscope-Assisted Middle Cranial Fossa Approach for Repair of Tegmental Defects: A Cadaveric and Clinical Study

Edoardo Porto et al.

Summary: This study presents a proof of concept of exoscope-assisted surgery for middle cranial fossa (MCF) defects. The results demonstrate that exoscope provides adequate exposure and magnification, without causing damage to key anatomical structures. The clinical case also supports the feasibility of exoscope-assisted technique.

Combined Exoscopic and Endoscopic Two-Step Keyhole Approach for Intracranial Meningiomas

Tadashi Watanabe et al.

Summary: Neuroendoscopic surgery offers wide viewing angle and minimal surgical trauma. The advent of exoscope allows for the addition of microsurgery-like field of view to endoscopic surgery. The minimally invasive combined exoscopic and endoscopic two-step keyhole approach (EEKA) shows promising results in the treatment of various types of meningiomas, achieving better outcomes in terms of blood loss, surgical time, and craniotomy size compared to conventional microsurgery.

Postural ergonomics and work-related musculoskeletal disorders in neurosurgery: lessons from an international survey

Georgios Mavrovounis et al.

Summary: The survey revealed that most neurosurgeons have experienced work-related musculoskeletal disorders, affecting mainly the shoulder, neck, and back muscles. Many surgeons agree that more attention should be paid to ergonomics in the neurosurgical field to alleviate the burden of WMSDs on healthcare professionals.

Robotic-Assisted Digital Exoscope for Resection of Cerebral Metastases: A Case Series

Alexander J. Schupper et al.

Summary: A study of 31 patients undergoing resection of cerebral metastases with the surgical exoscope showed that the device can delineate tumor tissues with high resolution, achieving gross total resection in majority of cases. The overall progression-free survival rate was 58.1%, with a 12-month overall survival rate of 83.9%.
