Abstract
This article presented the author's historical perspective on twenty-five of the most significant neurosurgical breakthrough events of the last 50 years. These breakthroughs have advanced neurosurgical patient care and management. They have improved the management of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, tumors, stroke, traumatic brain injury, movement disorders, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, and spine pathologies. Neurosurgery has evolved through research, innovation, and technology. Several neurosurgical breakthroughs were achieved using neuroendoscopy, neuronavigation, radiosurgery, endovascular techniques, and refinements in computer technology. With these breakthroughs, neurosurgery did not change; it just progressed. Neurosurgery should continue its progress through research to obtain new knowledge for the benefit of our patients.
期刊介绍：
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
