We describe here the use of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein variant, pHluorin, to study the spatio-temporal dynamics of axon guidance receptors trafficking at the cell surface. The pHluorin-tagged receptor is expressed both in cell culture and in vivo, using electroporation of the chick embryo.

Surgery is the gold standard for accessible arteriovenious malformations (AVMs), and pre-operative embolization can simplify this procedure. We describe our approach for staged endovascular embolization and open resection of AVMs, and provide a representative clinical example highlighting the advantages of a comprehensively trained neurovascular surgeon leading a multi-disciplinary clinical team.

Several animal models of cerebral ischemia have been developed to simulate the human condition of stroke. This protocol describes the endothelin-1 (ET-1) induced middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model for ischemic stroke in rats. In addition, important considerations, advantages, and shortcomings of this model are discussed.

This protocol describes Surgical Trunk-oriented Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy (ST-LRH), a modified laparoscopic right hemicolectomy designed to optimize vascular management and lymph node dissection, simplify surgical procedures, and improve surgical safety and efficiency.
FAQs
The process begins with patient-specific anatomical information and a planned operative approach, then links that information to feedback available during the procedure. This connection helps clinicians maintain spatial orientation while locating targets and positioning instruments. Its value is greatest when anatomy is difficult to visualize directly, because the plan can continue to inform decisions as the operation proceeds.
Spatial awareness helps clinicians judge the relationship between instruments, targets, and surrounding anatomy during an operation. Surgical guidance supports that judgment by supplying visual, navigational, or instrument-based feedback rather than relying only on direct line-of-sight. This matters in complex or minimally invasive procedures, where improved orientation can support accurate instrument placement and reduce unnecessary tissue disruption.
These approaches represent different ways of communicating operative information. Visual feedback can reinforce what the clinician sees, navigational feedback can support orientation relative to the planned approach, and instrument-based feedback can help guide placement. The appropriate form depends on the procedure and the need for spatial information during a specific surgical task.
Patient-specific anatomical information can be organized into a surgical plan and connected with feedback available in the operative setting. This workflow supports continued orientation and decision-making, particularly when direct visualization is limited. It also helps translate individualized planning into more precise intraoperative actions, keeping instrument placement and target localization aligned with the planned procedure.
Applications include minimally invasive procedures, tumor resection, orthopedic interventions, and other complex operations. In these settings, guidance can assist clinicians when anatomy is difficult to visualize directly or when precise instrument placement is important. Across the procedures, the approach supports spatial orientation and may help limit avoidable tissue disruption while improving procedural consistency.
By combining patient-specific information with operative feedback, Surgical Guidance can improve procedural consistency and support more individualized surgical planning. Its contribution is not limited to locating a target; it also helps clinicians make spatially informed decisions and position instruments more precisely. These capabilities advance image-guided and personalized surgery across complex clinical procedures.
