- Neuroendoscopy Surgery
- Through the nose (for the diseases of the skull base)
- Through small incisions in the top of the head (for brain tumors)
- Through small incisions in the back or neck (for spinal diseases)
Risks of Neuro Endoscopy
- Brain hemorrhage
- Severe bleeding
- Infection
- Increased intracranial pressure
- Need for open surgery
When is Neuro Endoscopy recommended?
A neuro endoscopy enables the Neurosurgeon to reach the areas of the brain that are not accessible with traditional surgery procedures.
- Pituitary tumor
- Tumors in the pineal region
- Rathke's cleft cysts
- Tumors in the base of the skull
- Ventricular tumors
What to expect during a Neuro Endoscopy procedure?
Recovery from Neuro Endoscopy
- Pain relief options
- Caring for your wound site
- How soon can you return to your activity routine
- Follow-up appointment schedule
Benefits of Neuro Endoscopy over the traditional surgery
- Access the parts of the brain that are hard to reach with traditional surgery procedures

- Smaller incisions or cuts
- Lesser pain or quicker healing
- Reduced risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays

What conditions can be treated with neuroendoscopy and what are the advantages of this approach?
Neuroendoscopy can treat hydrocephalus (via ETV), intraventricular cysts, colloid cysts, and certain brain tumours. Advantages include smaller incisions, reduced brain retraction, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and lower risk of complications compared to open surgery. Dr. Rajeswaran is an experienced neuroendoscopic surgeon in Abu Dhabi.
Is neuroendoscopic surgery safe for children with hydrocephalus or brain cysts?
Yes. Neuroendoscopy is performed safely in children and is often the preferred approach for suitable cases of obstructive hydrocephalus and intraventricular lesions. The paediatric brain requires particular expertise, and Dr. Rajeswaran applies careful patient selection and precision technique in neuroendoscopic procedures for younger patients.
How has neuroendoscopy changed the treatment of brain conditions in modern neurosurgery?
Neuroendoscopy has transformed neurosurgery by enabling surgeons to access deep brain structures through small keyhole openings. This has reduced the need for large craniotomies, decreased surgical trauma and blood loss, and improved recovery times for patients with hydrocephalus, ventricular tumours, and skull base lesions.
