Robotic Functional Neurosurgery
The article examines the state of functional neurosurgery (FNS) in lower middle-income countries (LMICs) through a multinational survey assessing exposure, utilization, and perceived barriers to key FNS modalities such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), and percutaneous rhizotomy. It explores the disparities in access to these advanced neurosurgical techniques, highlighting challenges related to infrastructure, affordability, training, and legal considerations. The study underscores the urgent need for international collaboration, targeted training, and policy interventions to improve access to FNS in resource-limited settings. But what specific strategies could help bridge the gap between LMICs and high-income countries in making functional neurosurgery more accessible and effective?

Sixteen years after Dr. Darrell Bigner's discovery of a gene mutation linked to brain tumors, the FDA has approved Voranigo, an oral medication targeting Grade 2 IDH-mutant gliomas. Clinical trials at Duke University demonstrated that Voranigo effectively delays tumor progression, offering a promising treatment for approximately one-third of primary brain tumor patients.
