Neuroendoscopic Surgery
Neuroendoscopic Surgery
Neuroendoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using specialized instruments and an endoscope to diagnose and treat various neurological conditions. It allows for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment while minimizing the impact on surrounding brain tissues.
What is Neuroendoscopic Surgery?
- Minimally Invasive Approach: Neuroendoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a flexible tube (endoscope) equipped with a camera to visualize and treat neurological issues inside the brain or spinal cord.
- Enhanced Precision: The endoscope provides high-definition imaging, allowing Dr. Saraang Gotecha to perform delicate procedures with exceptional precision and accuracy.
- Reduced Recovery Time: Compared to traditional open surgery, neuroendoscopic surgery offers patients a faster recovery due to smaller incisions and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Conditions Treated with Neuroendoscopic Surgery
- Brain Tumors :
Removal of tumors located deep within the brain, including those in hard-to-reach areas like the pituitary gland or ventricles.
- Hydrocephalus :
Treatment of excess cerebrospinal fluid buildup in the brain, often through procedures like endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) to bypass blocked fluid pathways.
- Arachnoid Cysts :
Surgical drainage or removal of cysts that form in the brain or spinal cord, causing pressure and potential damage.
- Intracranial Hemorrhage :
Treatment for brain bleeds, allowing for less invasive procedures to remove blood clots or control bleeding.
- Chronic Sinus Disease and CSF Leaks :
Repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks or chronic sinus issues affecting the brain and surrounding structures.
Benefits of Neuroendoscopy:
- Less pain than traditional surgery
- Faster recovery than traditional surgery
- Minimal scarring
