Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Preoperative neurosurgical planning is an important step in avoiding surgical complications, reducing morbidity, and improving patient safety. The incursion of machine learning (ML) in this domain has recently gained attention, given the notable advantages in processing large datasets and potentially generating efficient and accurate algorithms in patient care. We explored the evolving applications of ML algorithms in the preoperative planning of brain and spine surgery.
