Abstract

Aim: To discuss the way by which we can transfer the neurosurgeons from the microscope to the endoscope. Methods: We tried to analyze how the neurosurgeons start to use the endoscope in many countries (Syria,Iraq,Lebanon) in some centers. We can see that the personal relations are very important in some places especially if they are not tertiary centers and in the places far from the centers, whereas the scientific conferences have the most important role in thetertiary centers.The scientific discussion is a good way for the short term. The results are the most important way for the long term. Unfortunately financial and commercial issues play serious role in some cases. Results: Scientific discussion, personal relations, conferences, trials are some of the methods to shift the neurosurgeons to endoscope, but the results are the most important way. Conclusions: There are many ways by which we can convince the neurosurgeon to use the endoscope instead of the microscope.
