Neurosurgery o/the Future: Computers and Robots in Clinical
Neurosurgical Practice and in Training - a Philosophical Journey
into the Future Many present day neurosurgeons believe that they
already obtain good results in operative surgery with the benefit
of the operating microscope and other aids which have become
available in the last three decades and that the introduction of
computers and robots to the operating theatre is superfluous.
However, it is clear from analogy with the function of the airline
pilot, another profession where there are great demands on manual
skill and on spatial awareness, that these devices do have much to
offer neurosurgery. Classical neurosurgery, in the time of Cushing,
Dandy and Scarff, was based on a three dimensional picture of the
patient's brain formed in the surgeon's mind and often illustrated
in elegant drawings. Such pictures were based on neuroradiological
studies by pneumoencephalography, ventriculography or by
angiography. Generally these stud ies showed the presence and
position of a lesion by displacement of normal brain structures and
the picture was built up by interference. This was then converted
by the experienced neurosurgeon into a plan for the craniotomy site
and the trajectory of the surgical approach. Once the brain was
exposed further pre-operative information was obtained by visual
inspection and by palpation with the brain needle. These classical
forms ofneuroradiology have largely been superseded by computerised
tomography and by magnetic resonance imaging."
