Newswise — Rolling Meadows, IL (January 1, 2024). The January issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video (Vol. 10, No. 1 [https://thejns.org/video/view/journals/neurosurg-focus-video/10/1/neurosurg-focus-video.10.issue-1.xml]) presents 17 videos demonstrating techniques related to the use of exoscopes in neurosurgery.
Topic Editors: Constantinos G. Hadjipanayis, Libby K. Infinger, Martin Lehecka, Gustavo Pradilla, and Gabriel Zada
The January issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video is dedicated to the use of the exoscope in neurosurgery. As noted by this month’s Topic Editors, this video selection “highlights use of the exoscope in cerebrovascular, neuro-oncologic, pediatric, peripheral nerve, and spinal neurosurgery. Novel and innovative video case presentations have been collected in this issue that include different exoscope technology platforms.”
