From Scalpel to Scope: How Innovation Is Transforming Neurosurgical Care
This article explores the cutting edge of neurosurgical innovation, where precision meets preservation. It examines how evolving minimally invasive techniques are reshaping both brain and spinal procedures reducing risk while pushing the limits of what can be achieved through smaller openings. The review traces advancements in technology, outcomes, and philosophy of care, yet leaves one question resonating: as surgery becomes less invasive, how close are we to redefining what it means to heal the human nervous system?

Hope for Safer Brain Lesion Treatment
A ground-breaking, incision-free method is emerging at UVA, one that may rewrite how we think about treating complex brain lesions. By harnessing sound waves and microscopic bubbles, researchers are challenging the need for surgery and radiation alike. Initial findings hint at a remarkable shift in patient care but the pivotal question remains: could this quietly evolving technology deliver safe, real-world impact beyond the lab?
