Abstract
Background
Brain Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae (DAVF) are acquired abnormal connections between dural arteries and cerebral veins or venous sinuses. Disconnection of the pathological shunt is recommended for high-grade fistulae and cases with intolerable symptoms or previous bleedings. Surgical disconnection remains the preferred method for anterior fossa DAVF.
Method
Microsurgical disconnection of anterior fossa DAVF is performed with the assistance of a robotic exoscope. Intraoperative aniography is implemented to confirm the exclusion of DAVF.
Conclusion
The exoscope provides excellent lighting and magnification in challenging surgical fields improving surgeon's ergonomics and enabling tailored, minimally invasive approaches without compromising procedural safety or effectiveness.
期刊介绍：
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
