Abstract
Recent advances in neuro-imaging have led to the early diagnosis of increasingly smaller and more deeply-seated tumours. Conventional neurosurgical techniques are often not satisfactory to deal with these lesions. The authors describe their preliminary experience with a prototype neuro-endoscope. The technical characterisstics of the instrument and description of its use in performing stereotactic laser tumour resection are provided.
