  • Identification of new procedures enabled by computer assistance, such as minimally invasive spine surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Standardization of tumor resection, reduced morbidity/mortality in craniotomies.
    • Transformation of cranial base surgery via frameless stereotactic techniques, making biopsies less common.
    • Advancements in functional neurosurgery, deep brain stimulation, and epilepsy surgery using image guidance.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer assistance is irrevocably transforming neurosurgical practice across all subspecialties.
    • Future research should focus on electronic records, advanced registration, augmented reality, real-time feedback, robotics, and outcomes analysis.
    • Neurosurgeons must lead this technological revolution while maintaining patient welfare as the primary commitment.
