This is known as <b>&#8220;Neuroendoscopic Treatment,&#8221;<\/b> and it allows for procedures to be performed through a small opening in the skull, roughly the size of a 1-yen coin. The endoscope is a device several tens of centimeters long equipped with a camera. When passed through a narrow opening, it provides a wide field of view deep within the body. By using this along with specialized surgical instruments, treatment can be administered without leaving large scars, making this an increasingly common approach (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig1_neuroendoscopy_equipment_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 1<\/a>). Similar to endoscopic procedures used in gastroenterology (gastroscopy) or general surgery (laparoscopy), Neuroendoscopic Treatment applies these techniques to the brain and spinal cord. This reduces the physical burden of procedures that were traditionally extensive and can also assist in microscopic surgeries commonly performed in neurosurgery.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"KoteiPage_SubTitle KoteiPage_SubTitle--sub\">Conditions Treated with Neuroendoscopy<\/h4>\n<div class=\"Pg_TextBlock\">\n<ul class=\"Pg_InfoList\">\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\">Diagnosis and resection of brain tumors (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig2_brain_tumor_biopsy_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig3_brain_tumor_biopsy_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 3<\/a>) and cysts (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig4_cystic_disease_treatment_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 4<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\">Evacuation of cerebral hemorrhages (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig5_intracerebral_hematoma_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 5<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\">Treatment of hydrocephalus (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heartfull.or.jp\/kano\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/medical_fig6_hydrocephalus_treatment_en.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graph 6<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"KoteiPage_Text\">It is also utilized in various spinal cord and spinal column surgeries.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"KoteiPage_SubTitle KoteiPage_SubTitle--sub\">Benefits of Neuroendoscopic Treatment<\/h4>\n<div class=\"Pg_TextBlock\">\n<ul class=\"Pg_InfoList\">\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Minimally Invasive:<\/b> Diseases located deep within the brain, which previously required major surgery, can now be diagnosed and treated effectively with significantly less physical strain on the patient.<\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Enhanced Visibility:<\/b> Because the endoscope provides a magnified, wide-angle view, similar to a fisheye lens, it is an invaluable tool for assisting during complex surgical procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"KoteiPage_SubTitle KoteiPage_SubTitle--sub\">Introduction to Various Neuroendoscopic Treatments<\/h4>\n<div class=\"Pg_TextBlock\">\n<ol class=\"Pg_InfoList\">\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Tumors<\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Treatment of Hydrocephalus and Cystic Diseases<\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Evacuation of Intracerebral Hematomas<\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Post-clipping Verification for Aneurysms<\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"Pg_InfoList_Item\"><b>Assistance in Transsphenoidal Surgery<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical Departments Neurosurgery What is Neuroendoscopic Treatment?
