It involves the analysis of diagnostic imaging, anatomical considerations, surgical risks, and the selection of optimal approaches and tools. In [[neurosurgery]], preoperative planning is critical for minimizing complications, preserving neurological function, and tailoring the intervention to the patient's unique [[neuroanatomy]]—especially in complex cases such as [[brain tumor]], [[vascular malformation]], or [[spinal pathology]]. New technologies like [[3D virtual reality]] and [[3D printing]] have enhanced preoperative planning by enabling realistic rehearsals and improved spatial understanding. preoperative_planning.txt Last modified: 2025/06/19 16:20by administrador
