Abstract

Technology applied to Oncological Neurosurgery

Stefan Szylewicz

Introduction: Just as it happened in several areas of medicine, technological innovation is transforming our view in medical assistance. Innovation can be defined by the introduction of techniques that starts a change in clinical or surgical practice. Neuro oncological surgery becomes a technologically discipline after the introduction of microscope, neuronavigation systems and image studies inside the surgical theater, and new technologies have preceded many of the major advances in operative oncological neurosurgical techniques. Methods: The purpose here is to list and find the high quality points of any innovative technology application to use then better and create more safe oncological neurosurgery. Discussion: In modern clinical and surgical practice in neuro oncology new methods are providing more secure surgical techniques with better resection results and better clinical outcome to patients." HJ et al with 11,672 patents and 208,203 publications relating to neurosurgery were identified. The top performing technology clusters over the 50 years were: image guidance devices, clinical neurophysiology devices, neuromodulation devices, operating microscopes and endoscopes. Image guidance and neuromodulation devices demonstrated a highly correlated rapid rise in patents and publications, suggesting they are areas of technology expansion." We believe that this numbers will increase exponentially.
