Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has become one of the most common neuroendoscopic procedures.
In this article, we will review the major milestones in the history of ETV development from its early use by Walter Dandy to the techniques currently employed with advanced technology.
ETV has become an important technique in the armamentarium of the neurosurgeon. From a meager beginning with few applications, our knowledge of long-term outcomes has evolved. ETV has a rich history and more recently, has had a renewed interest in its use. Our current understanding of its indications is growing and is based on a century of development through trial and error.
内镜下第三脑室造瘘术(ETV)已成为最常见的神经内镜手术之一。
在本文中,我们将回顾ETV发展历史中的主要里程碑,从沃尔特·丹迪早期使用该技术到目前采用先进技术的操作方法。
ETV已成为神经外科医生手术器械库中的一项重要技术。从最初应用较少的简陋开端,我们对其长期疗效的认识不断发展。ETV有着丰富的历史,最近,人们对其应用又重新产生了兴趣。我们目前对其适应证的理解不断深入,这是基于一个世纪以来反复试验的发展成果。
