  • Candidate trajectories were identified for two surgical procedures.
  • The proposed method yielded trajectories that were 5% shorter.
  • Trajectories demonstrated a 4.7% greater distance from blood vessels.

    • Conclusions:

    • The genetic algorithm significantly accelerates the trajectory search, reducing time by 99.9%.
    • The developed method enhances safety by optimizing trajectory selection.
    • This approach offers a more efficient and safer preoperative planning tool for neurosurgeons.
