BACKGROUND: The Endonasal Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery (EETS) is a minimally invasive procedure to approach and remove pituitary tumors and other sellar lesions. The process causes less pain, faster recovery, and provides further minimal invasi...
OBJECTIVE: Medial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of medication-resistant focal epilepsy in adults. Despite removal of medial temporal structures, more than one-third of patients continue to have disabling seizures postoperativel...
Spine surgery is continuously evolving. The synergy between medical imaging and advances in computation has allowed for stereotactic neuronavigation and its integration with robotic technology to assist in spine surgery. The discovery of x-rays in 18...
BACKGROUND: Recent technological advances have led to the development and implementation of machine learning (ML) in various disciplines, including neurosurgery. Our goal was to conduct a comprehensive survey of neurosurgeons to assess the acceptance...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning has emerged as a viable asset in the setting of pituitary surgery. In the past decade, the number of machine learning models developed to aid in the diagnosis of pituitary lesions and predict intraoperative and postoperat...
In the present report, we have broadly outlined the potential advances in the field of skull base surgery, which might occur within the next 20 years based on the many areas of current research in biology and technology. Many of these advances will a...
BACKGROUND: Automated brain tumor segmentation methods are computational algorithms that yield tumor delineation from, in this case, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present an automated segmentation method and its results for resectio...
BACKGROUND: The decision to treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) or not is complex and requires balancing of risk factors and scores. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have previously been effective at generating highly accurate and comprehe...
BACKGROUND: Preoperative prognostication of adverse events (AEs) for patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) can improve risk stratification and help guide the surgical decision-making process. The aim of this stud...
