From the Idea to Its Realization: The Evolution of Minimally Invasive Techniques in Neurosurgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Minimally invasive techniques in neurosurgery evolved in two steps. Many minimally invasive concepts like neuronavigation, endoscopy, or frame based stereotaxy were developed by the pioneers of neurosurgery, but it took decades till further technical developments made the realization and broad clinical application of these early ideas safe and possible.
