The 75th National Congress of the Italian Society of Neurosurgery (Sinch) in Catania continued to explore the intersection of technology and surgical practice. While the event previously highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence and image-guided systems, recent discussions reinforced that these tools cannot replace clinical experience. Giuseppe Barbagallo noted that although AI assists in analyzing imaging for brain pathologies, the final diagnosis must remain a matter of histological examination and human judgment. This sentiment aligns with the congress’s broader focus on ensuring that innovation serves to reduce surgical risks rather than substituting for the physician. Medical professionals at the congress emphasized that while AI and tools such as neuronavigation can improve diagnostic precision, they must function as aids to clinical expertise. Further developments in neuro-oncology were addressed, specifically how molecular and genetic classifications have now superseded purely morphological approaches in the treatment of brain tumors. Additionally, the use of endoscopy was reaffirmed as the gold standard for minimally invasive skull base surgeries.
