Endoscopic and stereotactic neurosurgery.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Review of the anesthetic considerations for neuroendoscopy and stereotactic procedures. RECENT FINDINGS: Minimally invasive procedures are increasingly applied in novel ways in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological pathologies. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy, endoscopic shunt revisions and drainage of intraventricular hematoma using a neuroendoscope have become routine neurosurgical procedures. Stereotaxis has expanded its scope from simple brain biopsy to functional neurosurgery and psychiatry. While these procedures are 'minimally invasive', perioperative critical events may still occur. SUMMARY: Vigilance in preoperative assessment and intraoperative monitoring is essential in minimizing perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing neuroendoscopic and stereotactic procedures.

Anaesthesia for minimally invasive neurosurgery.
Technological advances in imaging, computing and surgical instrumentation have encouraged the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques to various neurosurgical disorders. This chapter discusses the wide application of neurosurgery and the implications for anaesthesia, focusing on the specific anaesthetic considerations for neuroendoscopy, stereotactic procedures and radiosurgery.
