What is High-Definition 4K 3D Exoscope (ORBEYETM) in Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Surgery: A Preliminary, Explorative, Pilot Study about?
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Surgery for peripheral nerve sheath tumors aims to preserve functional fascicles achieving gross-total resection. Increasing the visualization of anatomic details helps to identify the different layers and the tumor-nerve interface. The traditional microscope can present some limitations in this type of surgery, such as its physical obstruction. ## OBJECTIVE To present a proof-of-concept study about exoscope-guided surgery for schwannomas of the lower limbs, to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the 4K, high-quality, 3-dimensional (3D) imaging. ## METHODS We analyzed 2 consecutive surgical cases of suspected schwannomas of the lower limbs using the ORBEYETM exoscope (Olympus). A standard operative microscope was also available in the operating room. All procedures were performed with neurophysiological monitoring, to identify functioning nerves and to localize the tumor capsule safest entry point. The cases are reported according to the PROCESS guidelines. ## RESULTS In both cases, we achieved a gross total resection of the schwannomas; the exoscope provided an excellent view of the anatomic details at tumor-nerve interface, as visible in intraope
