Magnification, Practice, and Anatomy of Movement: A Kinematic Study of Microsurgical

Microsurgery requires precise instrument manipulation at millimetre scale. Surgeons are trained to coordinate their hand movements under magnified visual feedback while minimising unwanted motion. Previous studies investigating pointing and tracing tasks found that accuracy impro...

Skill maintenance in neurosurgery: lessons from high-reliability professions and a plea to prioritize psychomotor skill retention, a mini-review

Microsurgical procedures in neurosurgery are characterized by steep learning curves, exceptional technical complexity, and limited tolerance for error. While considerable research has focused on microsurgical skill acquisition and the development of training models, substantially...

Variation in meningioma recurrence risk estimates across observational cohorts: the influence of calendar time, WHO classifications, geographical settings, and healthcare systems

Abstract Purpose Recurrence risk estimates underpin meningioma research, including molecular classification and clinical trial benchmarking, yet are often based on retrospective or historical data. The aim of this study was to assess the variation of recurrence risk estimates acr...
