Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery continues to push toward maximal safe resection and minimally disruptive access, supported by intraoperative MRI, 5-ALA fluorescence, awake mapping, and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). GCSA 2027 will cover endoscopic endonasal and supraorbital keyhole approaches, robotic stereotactic platforms (ROSA, Mazor X) for spine and functional cases, and the expanding role of focused ultrasound for tremor and emerging psychiatric indications. Spine sessions address endoscopic discectomy, expandable cages, augmented-reality pedicle screw placement, and enhanced recovery pathways tailored to complex deformity and oncologic reconstruction.
