Technological breakthrough in neurosurgery and its impact

Abstract

Advanced neurosurgical techniques have been assessed. The related revolutionary advances in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and spinal cord disorders have been discussed. Thanks to technology, remote CNS lesion recognition has become available, and treatment of such lesions has become minimally invasive. However, threats coming from the use of excellent methods have been revealed, such as loss of clinical thinking, hyposkillia, and disunity among physicians and patients. The measures to prevent dehumanization in medicine, particularly neurosurgery, have been justified.
