We know that a thorough knowledge of microsurgical neuroanatomy is not only the backbone of any neurosurgical activity, but we also believe that the neuroanatomy laboratory is the perfect training ground for all neurosurgical techniques, having acquired the preparation, the visual-spatial ability, and the manual skills to consciously use all the new means and applications available to neurosurgery today and to neurosurgery tomorrow.
The main problem is that today, more than ever, in a society and climate where medical-legal litigation is very high, the importance of adequate neurosurgical training is paramount. So, a young neurosurgeon should not necessarily learn from mistakes, which can have terrible consequences for patients. The perfect training ground is certainly the microsurgical neuroanatomy lab. This is the starting point for a safe and prepared entry into the operating room.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to present through neuroanatomical studies, the importance of neuroanatomy for neurosurgery. The research spectrum ranges from classical neuroanatomy based on microsurgical dissections to the use of neuroendoscopy and the integration of modern neurosurgical tools such as 3D, artificial intelligence and augmented reality.
