Surgical options for disease of the nervous system continue to expand in breadth and scope. These advances have been related in large part to progress in technology, translational application of molecular biology, and increasing understanding of the physiologic processes associated with neurologic disease. The current review will outline recent neurosurgical advances in the management of brain tumors, movement disorders, spinal degenerative disease, and neurologic injury. In addition, we include a brief discussion of exciting data from recent trials focusing on the brain-machine interface.
