New Trends and Technologies in Modern Neurosurgery: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The neuraxis, the skull base along with its offshoot the spine, replicates a bone funnel as a vessel, sustaining the brain, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord, along with cranial and radicular nerves. The knowledge of the embryology, anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of diseases and of more effective surgical pathways for engaging with and removing those surgical diseases is of paramount importance in surgical cultural heritage and should be strongly encouraged and supported in young neurosurgeons. New trends and technologies are growing quickly and effectively, and the aim of the Special Issue is to raise awareness in relation to their use in modern neurosurgical practice. The spirit of the Special Issue is to drive the practical interests of the neurosurgeons in further investigating and implementing such blooming new trends in technologies, both in research and in surgical practice. We invite any neurosurgically tailored papers that make clear reference to new trends and technologies in this challenging field.
