An important first step. I am early in my practice and I fully expect medicine as I know it today to become unrecognizable within my lifetime. I am optimistic that it will be done carefully and will ultimately…
Medicine as a career offers immense personal fulfillment, variety, human interaction, and prestige at the expense of dealing with difficult outcomes and ranges of personal sacrifice -- neurosurgery as a specialty just…
I'm a physician and use chatGPT extensively for coding, writing, and general knowledge inquiry. With 60-70% correct rates on most training sets and 0.63 critical errors per report, for any physician not very well-versed…
The way it usually works is that we have anesthesia put the patient entirely to sleep to start and then we wake them for the sensitive part of the case when we need to perform stimulation and cognitive testing. We use…
Without further information regarding the exact location of the patient’s tumor, it is hard to comment in detail. However, one way handedness affects awake glioma resection is that while right handed people typically…
The difficulty of a task transcends mere mechanics. A common analogy used in neurosurgery training: "Imagine a wooden plank on the driveway and walk its length -- no problem. Suspend that same board ten stories in the…
Another example is robotic-assisted pedicle screw insertion in patients with challenging spinal deformities
All too common. Despite our best efforts, even the most detailed neuropsychological battery does a very poor job at detecting certain categories of cognitive changes -- especially in patients who were above average at…
The brain matter is indeed pierced. While “you only use 10% of your brain” is a myth, much of the brain is what we call non-eloquent, meaning it can be damaged or removed without any noticeable effects. Especially when…
The neurosurgeon meticulously plans the exact trajectories prior to surgery and we use a combination of software and hardware (Stealth or Brainlab) to ensure we follow the planned path. Of course, complications still…
Neurosurgery resident here. MR-guided focused ultrasound is a rapidly spreading non-invasive approach to deep brain lesioning that is perfect for patients with fear of surgery or with significant comorbidities that…
