title: A new endoscopic tool for the CRW Stereotactic System.
abstract: A new endoscopic tool designed and manufactured specifically for the CRW Stereotactic System (Radionics) has a high definition optical system, with a single optical and light cable long enough to leave the sterile operating area. The diameter of the scope is 4.5 mm, which is small enough to pass through the foramen of Monro in occlusive hydrocephalus. In addition, several multifunctional instruments are comparable with the endoscope.
