Clinical Advances in Neurosurgery

Dear Colleagues,

The field of neurological surgery has seen tremendous growth in recent years, whether this be through technical advances in operative techniques or novel treatment methods. As a result, patients, surgeons, and healthcare systems have seen improving clinical and patient-reported outcomes in addition to reduced morbidity or mortality in many subsects of the specialty. Yet, the complexity of both patient populations and treatments continues to increase. Research on the impact of clinical advances in neurosurgery remains at the forefront of importance to ensure that treatments are clinically and economically efficacious. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit works focusing on assessments of clinical advances in neurosurgery, including, but not limited to, emerging diagnostic modalities, deep brain stimulation (DBS), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), spinal surgery, and complication management to better understand impacts within a rapidly evolving surgical specialty.
