attempt the direct removal of a [[pineal region tumor]] in [[1910]].

In [[1910]], Taylor 
((Taylor AS. X. Unilateral Laminectomy. Ann Surg. 1910;51:529–33.)) 
described the [[hemilaminectomy]] technique.

[[Neuroendoscopy]] was described initially in the year 1910 by [[Victor Darwin Lespinasse]] (An urologist) where the [[lateral ventricle]]s were accessed using a rigid cystoscope to fulgurate the [[choroid plexus]] as a measure to reduce [[cerebrospinal fluid production]] in hydrocephalic children
((Dandy WE. An operative [[procedure]] for hydrocephalus. Bull Johns Hopkins Hosp. 1922;33:189)).

The method was further developed by Walter Dandy who implemented [[ventriculography]], worked out by himself in [[1918]], into the [[procedure]] of choroid plexus removal in hydrocephalic patients. For many, he is considered the father of neuroendoscopy. In [[1923]], William Mixter executed the first successful endoscopic ventriculostomy of the third ventricle.

Posterior lateral mass fusion was later added to Albee
((Albee F. Transplantation of a portion of the tibia into the spine for Pott’s disease: a preliminary report. JAMA. 1911;57:885.))
and Hibbs’s technique in [[1911]] 
(( Hibbs RA. An operation for progressive spinal deformities. NY Med J. 1911;93:1013–6.))
, which remained the standard for 5 decades. This was first utilized for instability in patients with [[Pott’s disease]].
