The realm of skull base surgery stands at the cusp of a transformative era, marked by the convergence of multiple disciplines and the advent of groundbreaking technologies. This research topic, "Neurosurgical Renaissance: Multimodal Innovations Reshaping Skull Base Surgery," aims to explore the synergistic integration of diverse technological advancements and their profound impact on the treatment of skull base diseases.

We are witnessing an unprecedented fusion of technologies like Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality (VR/MR/AR), advanced imaging reconstruction methods, novel surgical materials, and machine learning in surgical decision-making. These innovations are not only revolutionizing surgical techniques but also redefining diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in skull base pathology.

This Research Topic seeks to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of these advancements, bringing together expertise from neurosurgery, otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and spine surgery. By fostering a collaborative platform, we aim to delve into how these specialties intersect in the context of skull base surgery, leading to enhanced patient outcomes and surgical precision.

We invite contributions that explore the application of VR/MR/AR in surgical planning and execution, the use of new imaging techniques for intricate skull base structures, the role of cutting-edge materials in surgical practice, and the implementation of machine learning algorithms for refined surgical strategies. Additionally, we encourage submissions that discuss new diagnostic and treatment modalities for skull base diseases, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Implementation of VR/MR/AR technologies and imaging reconstruction innovations in skull base surgery

Impact of skull base disorders on neurological and cognitive functions.

The use of novel materials in surgical procedures and their role in brain health.

Artificial Intelligence in Brain Health and Skull Base Surgery decision-making and precision

Neuropsychiatric dimensions and postoperative care in skull base disorders.

New diagnostic models and neurorehabilitation in skull base pathology.

The role of multidisciplinary collaboration in skull base surgery advancements.

Neuroanatomy, functional brain mapping, and their application in developing therapeutic models in skull base surgery

Through this Research Topic, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future potential of these multimodal innovations. We look forward to contributions that not only shed light on these advancements but also pave the way for future discoveries and improved treatment strategies in the field of skull base surgery.

Please be aware that manuscripts dealing with skull base surgery, especially those that do not fall under the scope of Brain Health and Clinical Neuroscience, should accordingly be submitted to the Neurosurgery section of Frontiers in Surgery.
