The systematic implementation of surgical safety checklists in the past 5 to 10 years has contributed to a global decrease in morbidity and mortality after surgical procedures [1-5]. What I find intriguing about these data is that the significant reduction in adverse events with the utilization of a simple surgical…

'Florian Ringel'] Aneurysm occlusion rate after clipping is higher than after endovascular treatment. However, a certain percentage of incompletely clipped aneurysms remains. Presurgical selection of the proper aneurysm clips could potentially reduce the rate of incomplete clippings caused by inadequate clip geometry.…

Surgical activity is an important aspect for the management of health and safety processes and from an organizational perspective is one of the most complex activities performed in hospitals. It is often a defining and high value feature for any healthcare facility while being one of the most high-risk procedures for…

'Ladislav Nagy' 'Lazaros Vlachopoulos' 'Jess G. Snedeker' 'Philipp Fürnstahl'] Three-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted corrective osteotomy has become the state-of-the-art for surgical treatment of complex bone deformities. Despite available technologies, the automatic generation of clinically acceptable, ready-to-use…

We present a compact MRI-compatible stereotaxic frame for large nonhuman primates. The design is 3D printable, inexpensive, and matches size of an adult human head. Enabled real-time, accurate, MRI-guided deep-brain viral vector injection. Facilitated multimodal alignment for deep-brain electrophysiology planning. All…

Little is known about how language functional MRI (fMRI) is executed in clinical practice in spite of its widespread use. Here we comprehensively documented its execution in surgical planning in epilepsy. A questionnaire focusing on cognitive design, imaging acquisition, analysis and interpretation and practical…

'Timothy D. Johnson'] Abstract: Neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons increasingly opt to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map functionally relevant brain regions for noninvasive presurgical planning and intraoperative neuronavigation. This application requires a high degree of spatial accuracy, but…

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach for treating early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer. Optimal trocar placement during VATS ensures comprehensive access to the thoracic cavity, provides a panoramic endoscopic view, and prevents instrument crowding. While established principles such…

This article presents a systematic review of optical see-through head mounted display (OST-HMD) usage in augmented reality (AR) surgery applications from 2013 to 2020. Articles were categorised by: OST-HMD device, surgical speciality, surgical application context, visualisation content, experimental design and…

Surgical treatment of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) depends on proper identification of the seizure onset zone (SOZ), and differentiation of mesial, temporolimbic seizure onsets from temporal neocortical seizure onsets. Non-invasive source imaging using electroencephalography (EEG) and…

The goal of this study was to document current clinical practice and report patient outcomes in presurgical language functional MRI (fMRI) for epilepsy surgery. Epilepsy surgical programs worldwide were surveyed as to the utility, implementation, and efficacy of language fMRI in the clinic; 82 programs responded…

Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) aims to excise cutaneous cancer with real-time margin analysis. However, manual tissue grossing and analysis can be inefficient, so we propose DeltaAI, a novel workflow that utilizes Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to enable rapid tissue grossing and generate a 3D model in an augmented…

Demand for healthcare is increasing rapidly. To meet demand, we must improve the efficiency of our public health services. We present a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation that simultaneously tackles the integrated Master Surgical Schedule (MSS) and Surgical Case Assignment (SCA) problems. We consider volatile…
