Abstract
The development of endonasal endoscopic surgery has been advanced one step further by the image quality and expressiveness of endoscopes. The widespread use of HD endoscopic cameras has enabled tumor dissection, preservation of vital vessels, and delicate dissection of nerves during endonasal surgery through the close and detailed observation of intracranial structures. The observation of high image quality is essential. In addition, instruments that can be carefully manipulated are essential for achieving this image quality. Traditionally, endoscopic surgery has relied on axial back-and-forth movement in many situations due to the inability of the instruments to move sufficiently laterally, and it has been said that precise and effective instrument movement cannot be achieved. However, the ingenuity of surgical techniques to create an adequate operative field, movements specific to endoscopic surgery, and the emergence of specialized instruments have made delicate manipulation possible. Exoscopes, which appear as adjuncts to endoscopic surgery or alternatives to microscopic surgery, have also influenced the form of endoscopic surgery because, like endoscopes, they are heads-up surgeries. Recent developments in the peripheral equipment related to neuroendoscopic surgery have been described.
