This book addresses the fully endoscopic or endoscope-controlled transcranial surgery. As a surgical philosophy, it entails that the whole procedure is performed through a tailored keyhole craniotomy under the exclusive control of the rigid endoscope without the use of other visualization tools like surgical microscopes or exoscopes. Despite the well-known extreme superiority of the endoscopic view, especially at deep surgical targets, performing surgery under pure endoscopic control is currently adopted by few neurosurgeons across the globe. The main objective of this book to shed the light on this minimally-invasive surgical methodology and demonstrate its advantages and practical do ability.

Many internationally renowned expert neurosurgeons thoroughly describe how these procedures are performed using detailed descriptions of the surgical techniques and high-quality illustrations and exquisite intraoperative endoscopic images.

Endoscope-controlled Transcranial Surgery will be a valuable guide to practicing neurosurgeons in raising the bar of intraoperative visualization, with a consequent great improvement of safety and efficacy of the procedure performed. Furthermore, the book will serve as a starting point for more widespread utilization and dispersion of this surgical philosophy in the future.

Dr. Waleed A. Azab is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Department Neurosurgery, Ibn Sina Hospital, Kuwait. After obtaining a Doctorate Degree and a European Board Certification in Neurosurgery, he completed a Neuroendoscopy Fellowship at Weill-Cornell Medical College, New York, and a clinical attachment at the Minimally Invasive Cranial Surgery Program at James and Wexner Medical Center, Ohio State University. Neuroendoscopy is the main focus of his surgical interest and clinical research including Endoscopic Endonasal Pituitary and Skull base, Brain and Intraventricular and spinal procedures. He authored many research articles and book chapters in the field, and he is an executive board member of both the Neuroendoscopy Committee of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and the International Federation of Neuroendoscopy (IFNE), and a member of many national and international neurosurgical societies.
