Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of neurosurgery is undergoing an extraordinary transformation driven by continuous technological innovations, improved microsurgical and endoscopic techniques, and the integration of intraoperative imaging and artificial intelligence. These developments have significantly enhanced the precision, safety, and functional outcomes of neurosurgical procedures.
Recent progress in minimally invasive approaches, robotic-assisted surgery, and neuro-navigation has led to shorter recovery times and better postoperative quality of life. Moreover, advances in neuro-oncology, vascular and pediatric neurosurgery, and functional brain interventions have redefined the boundaries of diagnosis and treatment. The growing synergy between imaging biomarkers, neurophysiological monitoring, and surgical strategies is also revolutionizing personalized care.
This Special Issue will bring together original research and comprehensive reviews that highlight recent advances in neurosurgical techniques, perioperative care, and patient outcomes. We welcome contributions on innovative surgical technologies and imaging and computational tools, as well as translational studies that link experimental neuroscience with clinical neurosurgery.
Dr. Vianney Gilard
