This case study from Prof. Dr. Feres Chaddad talks about the treatment of unruptured MCA (middle cerebral artery) and PCOM (posterior communicating artery) aneurysms with microsurgical clipping. It…Read article
The Future of Fluorescence in Vascular Neurosurgery
In vascular neurosurgery, surgical microscopes are used to provide a magnified and illuminated view of the surgical field. Although surgeons benefit greatly from the superb image quality and optical…Read article
Full-HD Image Injection
The human skull is an especially delicate area for surgery. To differentiate healthy tissue from tumor cells, or treat an aneurysm for example, the surgeon needs a complete picture of the surgical…Read article
Navigating Through the Brain
One of the challenges of neurosurgery is orientation at the surgical site. When resecting tumors, removing arteriovenous malformations, or clipping aneurysms, surgeons often have to work near healthy…Read article
Sylvian dissection with ICG, viewed with FL800 fluorescence
In vascular and neoplastic surgery sylvian dissection is an essential skill. The neurosurgeon needs to recognize the superficial sylvian vein (SSV) in order to safely and accurately achieve a wide…Read article
FusionOptics in Neurosurgery and Ophthalmology – for a Larger 3D Area in Focus
Neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists deal with delicate structures, deep or narow cavities and tiny structures with vitally important functions. A clear, three-dimensional view on the surgical field is…Read article
Ergonomically Designed Surgical Microscopes Support Performance
Operations not only demand maximum concentration of the surgeon but also maximum physical fitness. Physiotherapist John Ludescher explains how the body can be given optimal support to perform at its…Read article
Just What the Surgeon Wants
We’ve all experienced an everyday product at some time that had great technology and a stylish design but was totally impractical to use. A designer coffee pot that spills its contents all round the…Read article
