The offered model from the use of imaging studies (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography imaging), where high-resolution images are obtained, also allows patients and relatives to be educated about other associated entities with a high burden of disease, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and heart disease, which negatively impact on cerebrovascular integrity. Thus, better adherence to the treatment can be obtained because the magnitude of such pathological conditions is recognized. We are very grateful to the authors1 for providing this valuable evidence, which should be taken and replicated in all regions of the world, not only focusing on the neurosurgical disease but other specialties. However, the most surprising fact about this model is that it can simulate real-time treatments, showing the interactions between the surgical instruments and the anatomic structures involved.1 Besides, it is a noninvasive intervention with immediate results, which could be included in the future, as screening for the early detection of pathologies according to risk factors. This instrument has also been used to reduce the anxiety produced by certain interventions, finding positive results, when patients argue that understanding their disease allows to assimilate the diagnosis, prognosis, and decreased fear of side and/or adverse effects.2 It has been found that patients with dementia of varying degrees improve their cognitive function by participating in virtual reality activities,3 so it can also be considered as a preventive measure to prolong neurological integrity, promote the level of education in those with no basic or higher education, and encourage the development of new life skills, to maintain or increase the functional capacity of older adults. On the other hand, virtual reality is a very effective technique to optimize education and surgical planning.4 It is a fundamental tool that helps to distinguish difficult management cases, to evaluate possible intraoperative alternatives. Besides, it can be used during the training of medical students, who are looking for a surgical specialty. Despite the evidence supporting such relevance in the academic and clinical fields, its use in the aforementioned scenarios has not yet been implemented globally. In Latin America, it has been explained that it is necessary to make a change in ","PeriodicalId":93342,"journal":{"name":"Neurosurgery open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/NEUOPN/OKAB008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42747766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors searched global neurosurgery articles on the Web of Science database from inception to June 18, 2020. The 50 most cited articles were selected and their metadata (document coupling, co-authorship, and co-occurrence) was exported. The metadata were analyzed and visualized with VOSViewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands). The articles were published between 1995 and 2020 and they had a median of 4.0 (interquartile range [IQR] = 5.0) citations. There were 5 clusters in the document coupling and 10 clusters in the co-authorship analysis. A total of 229 authors contributed to the articles and Kee B. Park contributed the most to articles (14 publications). Backward citation analysis was organized into 4 clusters and co-occurrence analysis into 7 clusters. The most common themes were pediatric neurosurgery, neurotrauma, and health system strengthening. The authors identified trends, contributors, and themes of highly cited global neurosurgery research. These findings can help establish collaborations and set the agenda in global neurosurgery research.","PeriodicalId":93342,"journal":{"name":"Neurosurgery open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/NEUOPN/OKAB006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47382427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
