Background Prior to using the exoscope, we speculated that it represented an intermediate tool between a loupe and a microscope and had concerns about its visibility of deep, fine structures. Objective To evaluate the depths of meningioma for which the exoscope was suitable, and to clarify its disadvantages in meningioma resection. Methods Findings of consecutive meningioma surgeries using a 4K three-dimensional (3D) exoscope over a one-year period were evaluated for visibility of the surgical field, comfort of the surgeon's arm posture, the surgeon's head orientation, and perception of the image delay, accounting for the depth of the tumor.
