Advances in Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic Neurosurgery

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there have been remarkable advances in minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgical techniques. These developments have enabled safer and less invasive procedures with improved outcomes and faster recovery, representing a major evolution in modern neurosurgery.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Advances in Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic Neurosurgery”, which will showcase the latest clinical and technical research on minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches, promoting knowledge sharing and contributing to the standardization of future neurosurgical procedures.

This Special Issue will include original studies, as well as reviews that cover recent progress and challenges in the field. Submissions addressing both transcranial and endoscopic skull base approaches are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Endoscopic endonasal surgery;
• Small craniotomy and keyhole approaches;
• Endoscopic transorbital surgery;
• Minimally invasive skull base surgery;
• Reconstruction and CSF leak prevention techniques;
• Management of complications and clinical outcomes;
• Development of new instruments and visualization systems;
• Robotic and navigation-assisted neurosurgery.

For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Shunsuke Shibao
Guest Editor
