Abstract
Endoscopic neurosurgery included endoscopic ventricular surgery, endoscopic transnasal skull base surgery, endoscopic transcranial keyhole surgery, endoport surgery and endoscopic spinal surgery, among which the endoscopic ventricular surgery and endoscopic transnasal skull base surgery are current hotspots. This article briefly reviewed the history of neuroendoscopy, introduced the present status and looked into its future, hoping to be helpful in the popularization of endoscopic neurosurgery in China.
