Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine the complication rate in intracranial endoscopic neurosurgery. RESULTS: The complications in our series of endoscopic intracranial procedures for the treatment of hydrocephalus, colloid and arachnoid cysts, as well as intraventricular tumors, were analyzed. CONCLUSION: Although the complication rate in endoscopic neurosurgery is low, severe, rarely even life-threatening, complications may occur. The complication rate decreases markedly with surgical experience, indicating a steep learning curve.
