Resumo
Rosomoffe Carroll pioneered the use of laser in the treatment of neurosurgical conditions. Since then, many lasers systems have been applied to neurosurgery such as carbon dioxide (CO2), argon, Nd:YAG and diode lasers, each one with remarkable different effects in tissues. Likewise, use of laser has been extended through almost all fields in neurosurgery, such as functional neurosurgery, peripheral nerves, pediatrics, neuro-oncology and endoscopic neurosurgery. Main current applications of lasers in neurosurgery are minimally invasive procedures based on laser-assisted endoscopic interventions to treat hydrocephalus and its causes. Different etiologies were treated with this technique: neurocysticercosis, aqueductal stenosis, arachnoid colloid cysts and third ventricle tumor. The purpose of using laser in hydrocephalus is to reduce the invasiveness of intracranial procedures, while preventing brain tissue trauma in order to decrease the risk of neurological and mental deficits. In the present text, we report the main scientific rationale and applications of laser in hydrocephalus treatment. © 2016 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
