Abstract

Recent optical technology has improved the quality of neuroendoscopy images, which has opened more opportunities for us to perform various neuroendoscopic surgeries in our daily practice. A survey by The Japanese Society of Neuroendoscopy has detailed the current situation of neuroendoscopic surgery in Japan. Although most university hospitals had some experience with this modality of treatment, each of them still had only a few cases a year. We reviewed complications we encountered related to neuroendoscopic procedures and analyzed the causes of those events. We also summarized previous training courses and expressed our thoughts on a desired training system on neuroendoscopy.
