    BackgroundThe establishment of neuroendoscopy has been one of the major achievements in neurosurgery in the last 2 decades. The use of the endoscope increases efficacy and safety in each procedure.MethodsThe integration of endoscopy with other operating techniques or imaging technologies enhances the safety and reliability of the technique.ResultsThe efficacy of the procedures, patient safety, and extent of resection have been increased by the integration of endoscopy with all of these sophisticated operative tools and imaging sources. Endoscopy has led to shortening of operative time and of the duration of hospital stay.ConclusionsA dedicated endoscopic operating room should provide workflow optimization, ergonomic solutions, and highest safety standards for the patient.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
