What is a Neuro Microscope and its different uses in brain and spinal surgery?

by Anisha Patil HPD

The Neuro Microscope Is a kind of operating microscope made by Neuro Microscope Manufacturers particularly adapted for surgeries involving the brain, spinal cord, and spine. Prepared with a binocular head with adjustable eyepieces and foot controls to allow liberty of arm movement, it brightens and magnifies the deeper parts of the operating field. Neurosurgeons trust Neuro Microscopes to envisage the surgical field and the fine structural details of brain structures to complete a wide array of surgical procedures with high precision.


Uses of Neuro Microscopes in different surgeries

The Neuro Microscope is used in the following type of brain and spinal surgeries.


Brain aneurysm Surgery

Brain aneurysms can be treated using surgical treatment if they have burst (cracked) or there's a danger that they will burst. Preemptive surgery is usually only suggested if there's a high risk of a rupture. This is because surgery has its danger of potentially serious difficulties, such as brain damage or stroke. Aneurysm clipping involves the following:


  • Making a minor opening in the skull.

  • Using a dedicated Neuro Microscope to isolate the blood vessel that feeds the aneurysm.

  • Employing a small metal, clothespin-like fastener on the aneurysm’s neck, halting its blood supply.


Through the Neuro Microscope, supplied by Neuro Microscope Manufacturers surgeons can approve the suitable blood flow inside of the arteries, as well as regulate that blood has stopped flowing to the aneurysm after it is trimmed. The aneurysm clip will remain in your body and stop future hemorrhage or rupture.


Cerebral bypass surgery

Cerebral bypass surgery is done to reinstate, or "revascularize," blood flow to the brain. A cerebral bypass is the brain's correspondence of a coronary evade in the heart. The surgery attaches a blood vessel from outside the brain to a vessel inside the brain to redirect blood flow around an injured or blocked artery. Bypass surgery aims to reinstate the blood supply to the brain and prevent strokes. Working under a Neuro Microscope, the surgeon prudently discovers a branch of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) suitable for bypass. The scope of the receiver vessel must be a good match for the diameter of the donor's vessel. Provisional clips are positioned across the donor and receiver vessels to stop the blood flow


Cerebral arteriovenous malformations

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are anomalous jumbles of blood vessels in the brain. A resection is the surgical elimination of minor AVMs that are on or near the surface of the brain. As a treatment for cerebral AVMs, a microsurgical resection occasionally is part of a complementary process with stereotactic radiotherapy or used in coordination with embolization. Radiotherapy uses radiation doses to cause the lesions to lump and, over time, to close off. Embolization is an endovascular process where a catheter threaded up through the groin artery to the brain AVM transports a material (such as a medical adhesive or a soft, metal coil) to block blood from providing the AVM; though, the AVM remains. Thus, occasionally endovascular embolization may be done before the resection. AVM resection includes precisely unraveling the AVM from the surrounding tissue. Using a Neuro Microscope, the neurosurgeon cuts off the blood source to the AVM and eliminates it.


Craniotomy

A craniotomy is the surgical elimination of a portion of the bone from the skull to expose the brain. Specific tools are used to eliminate the section of bone called the bone flap. The bone flap is provisionally removed, then substituted after the brain surgery has been done.

Some craniotomy actions may use the supervision of computers and imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or computerized tomography [CT] examinations) to reach the precise location within the brain that is to be treated. This method needs the use of a frame positioned onto the skull or a frameless system using cursorily positioned markers or landmarks on the scalp. When either of these imaging actions is used along with the craniotomy procedure, it is named stereotactic craniotomy.
