What is the endoscopic third controtulostomy?
Endoscopic Third Council (ETV) is a surgery performed in the brain to relieve the pressure caused by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. This accumulation of fluid is known as hydrophalus, which, if not treated, can damage brain tissue. The endoscopic third procedure of contractuality involves creating an opening at the bottom of the third chamber of the brain to allow the brain brain fluid to allow the brain fluid to run away. This fluid passes through several open cavities in the brain known as the chamber. Any blockage of the path of this fluid causes to accumulate, leading to hydrocephalus. Blocking can develop either in the newborn brain in the womb or can be caused by a tumor in the brain.
Endoscopic third constituent is a minimally invasive procedure that does not remove blocking in the brain, but instead provides a new insertion for cerebrospinal fluid. Patients need to have endoscopic third ventriculostomy, they are first subjected to general anesthesia. NeurosurgeonEON drills one hole in the skull and inserts a hollow tool called endoscope through the hole.
Surgical instruments and camera are elongated by endoscope to allow neurosurgeone to view the brain and complete surgery. The endoscope is carefully guided into brain tissue and opening called foramen munro. This opening leads to the third chamber, which is in the lower center of the brain. The neurosurgeon then pierces the hole at the bottom of the third chamber with a blunt probe.
The balloon catheter put them in an endoscope and led by a hole in the third chamber. The balloon is inflated and is used to enlarge the hole. This opening in the chamber allows a surplus of brain fluid to drain. After completing the procedure, the patient should expect to stay in the hospital for several days. Recovery is usually fast and allows patients to return to normal activities in a few days.
Endoscopic Third Council is an alternative to traditionalA short circuit that is implanted in patients with hydrocephalus. Shunty is used to drain the fluid from the brain with a piece of tube, which extends into the abdomen. Surgery to the implant short circuit is more invasive and bends can be infected over time. The ETV procedure is performed to prevent the implant from the short circuit. If the ETV procedure is successful, patients should experience a reduction in brain pressure and less complications than those who have experienced with a short circuit.
