Nanotechnology is the production of new products with superior features and innovation in production techniques with various arrangements of atoms. Nanoneurosurgery is defined as nano-scale manipulation of the central and peripheral nervous system at the cellular level, using cellular and molecular biology combined with nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is used increasingly to improve the resolution and sensitivity of existing imaging modalities, to plan and change the treatment modalities of brain tumors, especially of malignant neoplasms such as glioblastoma, to provide new structural support in the treatment of spinal diseases, and to reduce infection rates. In terms of neural tissue engineering, nanomaterials are also capable of directing the neuroregeneration process. Nanotechnology has the power to change neurosurgery by facilitating intervention at the cellular and molecular level. In this review, we have evaluated the potential importance of developing nanotechnology techniques for neurosurgery.
