Endoscope-assisted microsurgery of the corpus callosum.
The authors describe the use of a rigid endoscope lens to enhance microsurgical visualization of the corpus callosum. Using cadaver preparations, endoscopic dissection was carried out through a narrow corridor without significant retraction of the brain. The endoscope improves the operative exposure in corpus callosotomy and other transcallosal procedure.
