"It is about deepen into the possibilities that the association offers between the multimodal neuronavegation and neuroendoscopy", mentioned Dr. Álvaro Córdoba. For this purpose, the Eighth Conference Day of Neuroendoscopy combined the theoretical enrichment with the practical ability, which took place in the School of Medicine ´s Anatomy Department of the Republic University, UDELAR.

Doctor Córdoba remembered that the British Hospital initiated the neuronavigation in Uruguay in the year 2012 and mentioned that its combination with neuroendoscopy makes it possible to make available to patients “two minimally invasive techniques” which resulted in more comfortable postoperative processes and lower risks of complications than in conventional surgery, supporting a quick recovery of the patient. In the last 25 years we managed to profit from neuroendoscopy, “a subspecialty that all surgeons should consider in their training”, stated Dr. Córdoba.
