Summary
Neurosurgery is continuously evolving, especially in the last few years. Over the years, new and old techniques have been improved to provide less invasive and more effective surgical treatments, through the use of new intraoperative imaging, operating room equipment, and surgical tools.
This Special Issue aims to discuss research and insights from experts in the field to explore the latest trends, challenges, and innovations in the surgical treatment of brain and spinal tumors and address challenges in the management of complex cases and novel approaches to enhance outcomes.
In this special issue, we also accept original research articles and reviews on minimally invasive techniques and innovations in surgical approaches, telemedicine in tumor management, navigation technologies in brain tumor surgery, strategies to optimize brain tumor patient recovery and reduce hospital stays, the potential of artificial intelligence to improve surgical decision-making and management of cancer patients and the role of neuroendoscopy.
