Abstract
Endoscopic techniques have been utilized in neurosurgery for nearly a century. The history of application of these techniques is reviewed. Because of recent improvements in optics, microinstrumentation, and other associated technologies endoscopy has begun to have an impact on neurosurgery. Documented uses of these techniques are reviewed. Greater experience with the techniques, along with continued improvements in the technology, has the potential to result in broadened applications. These procedures can be performed quickly, safely, and effectively, and in selected applications may reduce tissue trauma, risks associated with surgery, hospital stays, and costs. Neuroendoscopy presents exciting possibilities for the future. Β© 1994 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract The application of microsurgical techniques to neurological surgery has changed the treatment of several important neurological and neurosurgical diseases. Microsurgical decompression of the 5th and 7th nerves for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm has become established as an ac
We developed a navigation support system for endoscopic interventions that allows three-dimensional (3-D) information to be extracted from endoscopic video data and superimposed onto such live video sequences. The endoscope is coupled to a position measurement system and a video camera as components
