Surgeons map precise pathways to hard-to-reach brain tumors

Researchers have quantified the surgical workspace available through microscopic approaches to a difficult-to-access region of the brain, potentially improving how surgeons plan complex tumor removals. The findings could refine training protocols and help hospitals assess whether they have adequate expertise for these delicate procedures.
