Today, on World Neurosurgeons Day, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of neurosurgeons everywhere. This day is especially meaningful for us at Mass General Brigham Department of Neurosurgery. Born on April 8th, Harvey Cushing founded Neurosurgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham, and transformed the field with his groundbreaking work and dedication to patient care. We honor his legacy and our neurosurgeons carrying it forward today. 🧠

We were honored to welcome visiting professor Edward Benzel, MD, PhD, for today’s Grand Rounds.

Dr. Benzel, Emeritus Chair of Neurosurgery and Professor at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, presented “Cervical Spondylosis: Myelopathy and Deformity: My Journey.”

His talk explored the complex nature of advanced cervical spine degenerative disease and highlighted evolving treatment strategies to address both deformity and myelopathy.

The evening prior, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Benzel for dinner, where he shared invaluable perspectives on medicine, neurosurgery, and spine health.

Thank you, Dr. Benzel, for sharing your expertise and insights with our community.

A milestone for Parkinson’s care in New England. Dr. Rees Cosgrove and Dr. John Rolston recently completed the region’s first case using the newly approved PTT target therapy, expanding treatment options for patients by addressing a broader range of Parkinson’s symptoms. This innovative approach reflects our continued commitment to advancing neurosurgical care and bringing the latest therapies to patients.

Under the leadership of Alexandra J. Golby, MD — Director of Image-Guided Neurosurgery and Co-Director of the Advanced Multimodality Image-Guided Operating (AMIGO) Suite — Mass General Brigham continues to redefine precision neurosurgical care.

By integrating advanced multimodal imaging directly into the operating room, Dr. Golby and the multidisciplinary team are able to plan, adapt, and make critical decisions in real time during complex brain procedures. This seamless collaboration between imaging and surgery enhances accuracy, preserves function, and improves outcomes for patients facing brain tumors and other challenging neurologic conditions, setting a new global standard for image-guided neurosurgery

As the Spine Summit approaches, we’re proud to highlight the outstanding work our faculty will be presenting.

We begin with Rohaid Ali, MD, MGB Spine Fellow, recipient of the K***z Scholar Award for his innovative work benchmarking AI across the spine administrative workflow. His award-winning abstract reflects the forward-thinking research and clinical innovation driving our department.

Join him at Spine Summit 2026 in Phoenix as he presents:

“Benchmarking AI Across the Spine Administrative Workflow.”

Congratulations, Dr. Ali — we look forward to an incredible meeting ahead.

We are excited to highlight our latest research exploring how large language models can support postoperative decision making in a neurosurgery ward — even in low-resource settings. This pilot study showed improved care planning, meaningful clinical actions, and promising safety results, paving the way for AI-assisted care in global neurosurgery.

We’re especially grateful to OpenAI for providing engineering support that helped make this study possible.
