Employing large language models safely and effectively as a practicing neurosurgeon.

Background: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant capabilities to date in working with a neurosurgical knowledge-base and have the potential to enhance neurosurgical practice and education. However, their role in the clinical workspace is still being actively explored. As many neurosurgeons seek to incorporate this technology into their local practice environments, we explore pertinent questions about how to deploy these systems in a safe and efficacious manner.
