Resumo

The extracorporeal telescope (exoscope) presents a novel digital camera system as a versatile alternative to traditional optical microscopy for microsurgery and minimally invasive neurosurgical operations. Recent innovations in exoscope technology offer 4K-definition multiscreen outputs, pneumatic robot arms, 3-dimensional depth perception, and greater illumination, focus, and magnification powers for enhanced intraoperative visualization. The authors present their initial institutional experience using a robotic arm–enabled 4K 3D exoscope in a variety of cranial and spinal neurosurgical operations, namely Chiari decompression, microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, anterior cervical discectomy, and lumbar decompressions.
