Validation of a novel artificial intelligence model (SpinePose) to automatically and accurately predict spinopelvic parameters using scoliosis radiographs in an external cohort.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: SpinePose was developed in 2024 as a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool to automatically predict spinopelvic parameters with high accuracy and without the need for manual entry. The authors' published results demonstrated excellent pe...

Optimizing predictive model performance in adult spinal deformity surgery: a comparative head-to-head analysis of learning models for perioperative complications.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and compare 4 predictive algorithms, including logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), gradient boosting machine (GBM), and neural network (NN), for perioperative outcomes in adult spinal deformit...

The Co-Pilot Project in wartime: lessons from Lviv, Ukraine.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: The ongoing war in Ukraine has introduced many challenges to an already overburdened and resource-limited medical system. Longitudinal collaborations, material support, educational outreach, and surgical mentorship are essential for improv...

Accuracy and safety evaluation of a novel artificial intelligence-based robotic system for autonomous spinal posterior decompression.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to introduce a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based robotic system for autonomous planning of spinal posterior decompression and verify its accuracy through a cadaveric model.

Leveraging machine learning for preoperative prediction of supramaximal ablation in laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain tumors.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Maximizing safe resection in neuro-oncology has become paramount to improving patient survival and outcomes. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) offers similar survival benefits to traditional resection, alongside shorter hospital st...

Robotic versus nonrobotic sacroiliac joint fusion.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement in spinal fusion has been well studied. However, few studies have evaluated robot-assisted sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion. The aim of this study was to compare surgical characteristics, accuracy, and c...

Evaluating a 3D deep learning pipeline for cerebral vessel and intracranial aneurysm segmentation from computed tomography angiography-digital subtraction angiography image pairs.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the most widely used imaging modality for intracranial aneurysm (IA) management, yet it remains inferior to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for IA detection, particularly of small IAs in the c...

Surgical classification using natural language processing of informed consent forms in spine surgery.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: In clinical spine surgery research, manually reviewing surgical forms to categorize patients by their surgical characteristics is a crucial yet time-consuming task. Natural language processing (NLP) is a machine learning tool used to adapt...

Quantification of motion during microvascular anastomosis simulation using machine learning hand detection.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Microanastomosis is one of the most technically demanding and important microsurgical skills for a neurosurgeon. A hand motion detector based on machine learning tracking technology was developed and implemented for performance assessment ...

Interhemispheric connections in the maintenance of language performance and prognosis prediction: fully connected layer-based deep learning model analysis.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Language-related networks have been recognized in functional maintenance, which has also been considered the mechanism of plasticity and reorganization in patients with cerebral malignant tumors. However, the role of interhemispheric conne...
