Article Synopsis
- Neurosurgery requires not only technical skills but also non-technical skills (NTSs) to achieve mastery, highlighting the importance of both in surgical practice.
- An international survey of 372 neurosurgeons indicates that qualities like attention to detail, humility, and self-awareness are vital for surgical precision and effective teamwork.
- The study advocates for integrated training that includes simulations and mentorship to enhance NTSs, while also stressing the need for research aimed at improving educational methods, especially in regions with unequal access to neurosurgical care.
Multimodality Structural and Functional Monitoring in Brain Tumor Surgery: The Role of IONM and IOUS.
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg
September 2024
Brain tumor surgery represents the pinnacle of technical and technological advances in the neurosurgery. The goal remains optimized extent of resection with preservation of neurological function. The benefit of a multimodal structural and functional intra-operative monitoring approach is to improve the ability of the surgeon to achieve the goal of optimized surgical resection.

There are multiple intraoperative tools to optimize the extent of resection (EOR). This article investigates and discusses the role of intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) in the surgical treatment of pLGG.
