3rd International Conference on Otorhinolaryngology Research and Treatment

This session aims to explore the latest advancements and techniques in the dynamic field of neurosurgery, highlighting its critical role in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the nervous system. As a highly specialized discipline, neurosurgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive techniques to complex brain and spine surgeries. The session will begin with an overview of current trends in neurosurgical practice, including the integration of advanced imaging modalities such as intraoperative MRI and CT scans. These technologies enhance surgical precision, enabling neurosurgeons to visualize intricate anatomical structures in real-time, thereby improving patient outcomes. Key topics will include the management of brain tumours, emphasizing the importance of multimodal approaches that combine surgical intervention, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Participants will learn about innovative techniques such as awake craniotomy, which allows for better functional mapping and preservation of critical brain areas during tumor resection. Spinal surgery will also be a focal point, covering advancements in techniques for treating conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and trauma. The session will delve into minimally invasive surgical approaches, which reduce recovery times and complications compared to traditional open surgeries. 

Recent advancements in neurosurgery have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions, significantly enhancing patient outcomes. One notable development is the integration of intraoperative imaging technologies, such as intraoperative MRI and CT scans. These tools allow neurosurgeons to visualize the surgical site in real-time, improving precision during complex procedures, particularly in tumor resections. Functional neurosurgery has also seen remarkable progress, especially with deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. Newer stimulation devices and protocols have improved patient selection and outcomes, allowing for more tailored treatments. Telemedicine has emerged as a valuable tool for preoperative consultations and postoperative follow-ups, increasing accessibility to neurosurgical care. Overall, these developments reflect a commitment to innovation in neurosurgery, prioritizing patient safety, efficacy, and quality of care.
