Usefulness of endoscope-assisted surgery under exoscopic view in skull base surgery: A technical note.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of the exoscope has been increasing in the field of neurosurgery, as it can set the visual axis freely, enabling the surgeon to operate in a comfortable posture.

Methods

The exoscope used was ORBEYE. All surgical procedures were performed exoscopically from the beginning of the surgery. When endoscopic observation was required during the operation, the endoscope was inserted under observation by an exoscope. The exoscopic screen was 4K-3D and endoscopic screen was 4K-2D, the operation was performed while observing both screens at the same time. The endoscope was
