Abstract

Introduction

Endoscopy was first employed in the surgical treatment of neurosurgical diseases early in the twentieth century, but did not become an established practice for a long time, mainly because of poor technology and clinical results. After a slow re-appearance in the 1980s, the 1990s saw an explosion of techniques and instrumentation. Continuing technological improvement has led to further expansion of surgical techniques and indications for use of neuroendoscopy.

Discussion

The expansion of ventricular endoscopy has led to significant understanding of CSF disorders. Aqueduct stenosis as cause of hydrocephalus and arachnoid cysts are an example of pathologies, the concept and understanding of which now is considerably enhanced, due to the application of neuroendoscopy in their treatment. Management of loculated hydrocephalus has been facilitated considerably with the use of the endoscope. The concepts of aqueductoplasty, septostomy, and foraminoplasty of the foramina of Monro and Magendie emerged, which were previously unknown. Skull base surgery, especially surgery for craniopharyngioma, has seen dramatic improvement in results with the use of the endoscope. Coupling of the endoscope with neuronavigation has expanded technical capabilities even further. Overall, we can do a lot more with the endoscope now in comparison to 30 years ago.

Conclusion

We should always remember that the endoscope is only a tool. Its use has indications and limitations related to its design and our ability to extract the maximum, in the context of its shortcomings. Further technological advances will push surgical frontiers even more in years to come.

Leitlinienkonformes Management thermischer Verletzungen

Thermische Verletzungen gehören zu den schwerwiegendsten Traumen und hinterlassen oft langfristige körperliche und psychische Spuren. Die aktuelle S2k-Leitlinie „Behandlung thermischer Verletzungen im Kindesalter (Verbrennung, Verbrühung)“ bietet eine strukturierte Übersicht über das empfohlene Vorgehen.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Nackenschmerzen nach Bandscheibenvorfall: Muskeltraining hilft!

Bei hartnäckigen Schmerzen aufgrund einer zervikalen Radikulopathie schlägt ein Team der Universität Istanbul vor, lokale Steroidinjektionen mit einem speziellen Trainingsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Nackenmuskulatur zu kombinieren.

US-Team empfiehlt Gastropexie nach Hiatushernien-Op.

Zur Vermeidung von Rezidiven nach Reparatur einer paraösophagealen Hiatushernie sollte einem US-Team zufolge der Magen bei der Op. routinemäßig an der Bauchwand fixiert werden. Das Ergebnis einer randomisierten Studie scheint dafür zu sprechen.
