Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to the development, methods, intraoperative lighting, and application of endoscopy in keyhole surgery, as well as observation of the surgical field and common approaches. Through 25 typical cases, it thoroughly explains surgical planning, approach selection, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes, playing a significant role in cultivating a mindset for applying keyhole surgery. Keyhole surgery in neurosurgery is performed on the basis of a thorough understanding of neuroanatomy and physiology, utilizing modern imaging techniques to fully assess the lesion preoperatively. Microsurgical and endoscopic technologies are applied to operate through a craniotomy window the size of a "keyhole," achieving efficient and minimally invasive treatment. It is particularly suitable for the surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, craniopharyngiomas, and epidermoid cysts. This book introduces the copyright from the renowned German publishing company Thieme. It presents the latest developments and advanced surgical methods, intraoperative lighting, endoscopic applications, surgical field observation, and common approaches in keyhole surgery in a (illustrated) format. Through 25 typical cases, it provides detailed explanations of surgical planning, approach selection, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes, which are crucial for cultivating a mindset for applying keyhole surgery. It serves as a valuable guide for those conducting keyhole surgery and is an excellent reference for neurosurgeons and clinicians in related disciplines.
