Neurosurgery Theatres, Facilities, and Instruments

Neurosurgical theatres are specifically modified operating rooms where neurosurgeons carry out extremely specialized surgical procedures. It stands to reason that just as neurosurgical procedures differ, so does the operative theatre set-up and equipment used. The layout and furnishings of the operating rooms are carefully chosen to facilitate and enhance the performance of the neurosurgery team. In this chapter, we present comprehensive descriptions of the equipment and operative set-up employed in neurosurgery theatres.
