Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, requiring continuous advancements in surgical treatment. This Special Issue focuses on the latest innovations in neurosurgical approaches to brain injury, highlighting minimally invasive techniques and innovations on invasive monitoring techniques that are transforming patient care. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging strategies, including the introduction of intracranial compartment syndrome (ICS) as a key concept for personalized treatment. This issue will explore cutting-edge research in real-time intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) monitoring, novel surgical methods such as expansion craniotomy, and the integration of advanced minimally invasive techniques like cisternostomy and endoscopic management. We invite original research, clinical studies, and review articles that address novel surgical techniques, enhanced neuro-monitoring approaches, brain edema surgery, and the development of minimally invasive procedures aimed at improving patient outcomes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
