Neurosurgeons map 3d microsurgical entry points for the human brainstem in unprecedented detail.

A study using intricate fiber dissection techniques provides new insights into the deep anatomy of the human brainstem and helps to define safe entry zones for neurosurgeons performing brainstem surgery, according to an opensource article published in Operative Neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons from the University of Florida and Istanbul University performed fiber tract dissections, along with three-dimensional photography, to explore and document the complex anatomy of the … Continue reading Neurosurgeons map 3d microsurgical entry points for the human brainstem in unprecedented detail.
