Microsurgical techniques enable the neurosurgeon to target structures and the surrounding normal anatomy with exceptional clarity. The neurosurgeon uses a counter-balanced operating microscope with a digital video camera connected to monitors to promote coordination between the neurosurgeon and the other members of the surgical team. Instruments in microneurosurgery range from very short to very long and from sturdy to delicate, depending on the working depth, characteristics of tissues, and the microneurosurgical anatomy.
Microneurosurgical techniques can be used in treating:
- Accoustic Neuroma
- Pituitary Tumors
- Metastatic Cancer
- Brain Aneurysms
- Optic Nerve Compression
- Spinal Cord Tumor
- Herniated Discs
