Another successful course at Queen Square! 🧠 We hosted our Neuro-Oncology Course on Saturday, where participants got hands-on experience across five simulation stations covering IONM, DTI, 5-ALA fluorescence-guided resection, MIS approaches, and intraoperative ultrasound. A huge thank you to our wonderful faculty, facilitators, and sponsors - none of this would be possible without you. 💙 #NeuroOncology #Neurosurgery #QSSimCentre #QueenSquare

NEW BOOK! The "keyhole" concept is 30 years old, and we are excited to be part of the MIS movement, if you can still call it that. A lot of sweat went into this from my co-editors and I owe them, and the staff at Thieme, my gratitude. To all the contributors, "thank you" as well, and I hope everyone enjoys the book. You can find it on Amazon and shop.thieme.com/Video-Atlas-… @KunalVakhariaMD

How do you feel about robots in neurosurgery? Our team at Queen Square, led by @hani_marcus is running a short survey to understand patient and public views on robotic technology in minimally invasive neurosurgery! 🧠 Open to patients & the public docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
