Abstract
The establishment of neuroendoscopy has been one of the major achievements in neurosurgery in the last 2 decades. The use of the endoscope increases efficacy and safety in each procedure. The integration of endoscopy with other operating techniques or imaging technologies enhances the safety and reliability of the technique. The efficacy of the procedures, patient safety, and extent of resection have been increased by the integration of endoscopy with all of these sophisticated operative tools and imaging sources. Endoscopy has led to shortening of operative time and of the duration of hospital stay. A dedicated endoscopic operating room should provide workflow optimization, ergonomic solutions, and highest safety standards for the patient.
