The potential advantages of exoscopy have been discussed theoretically for a long time. Such a concept holds significance, especially in the specific setting of the posterior cranial fossa (PCF), characterized by complex anatomy and long and narrow surgical corridors with relatively extreme working angles. We aimed to: 1) analyze the institutional preliminary case-based data on the use of the Robotic 3D Exoscope AEOS Aesculap in three different PCF approaches: retrosigmoid (RSA), midline suboccipital (MSA), and supracerebellar infratentorial via feedbacks was collected using a 20-point questionnaire, and 2) perform a comprehensive review of the literature concerning the use of EX in PCF surgery.
