Endoscopic Neurosurgery
Surgeons at BIDMC are skilled in the most up-to-date neurosurgery techniques, like endoscopic neurosurgery. This minimally-invasive procedure uses a small camera attached to a tube to help guide the surgeon, eliminating the need for a large incision. Some tumors and cysts can be removed endoscopically without creating a large opening in the skull or brain, a major benefit for many patients. And with endoscopic surgery, patients often enjoy a shorter recovery period.
