About
Simon Skyrman is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of surgical visualization and precision. His primary research focus is the development and clinical validation of augmented reality (AR) navigation systems for complex cranial procedures. Skyrman’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that AR can translate directly into the operating room, improving both accuracy and efficiency for high-stakes tasks like cranial biopsies and external ventricular drain (EVD) insertions. His landmark 2021 paper, which has garnered 48 citations, provided the first rigorous evidence that AR-guided navigation could reduce deviation from intended targets and shorten insertion times compared to traditional freehand techniques. This work is foundational for the next generation of "see-through" surgery, where critical anatomical data is overlaid directly onto a surgeon’s field of view. By bridging the gap between virtual planning and physical execution, Skyrman is helping to define a new standard for minimally invasive, image-guided neurosurgery—making procedures safer, faster, and more reproducible for patients and trainees alike.
