It has now become almost impossible to think of medicine and technology sciences separately. Over time, modern operating
theaters have turned into an industrial marvel. Especially in neurosurgery, safer operations are performed with assistive intraoperative
technologies that surgeons frequently use in routine surgeries. Combining these imaging-based technologies with surgical experience
reduces the complication rate and improves patient safety. The application areas of these methods, ease of application, accuracy,
and contribution to surgical success were our main research goals. In addition, appropriate case selection, the importance of the
intraoperative methods to be applied, the cost of these methods, and their differences compared to similar methods have been our
research topics. Here, we summarized the historical evolution and use of intraoperative MRI (IOMR), intraoperative ultrasonography
(IOUS), intraoperative neuronavigation, intraoperative fluorescence, and intraoperative neuromonitorization (IONM) among the
auxiliary intraoperative methods. We touched on the integration of technology into neurosurgery applications.
