Thieme is proud to present this reprint of M. G. Yasargil's seminal work in
Microneurosurgery.
Professor Yasargil began his neurosurgical residency at the
University of Zurich more than 50 years ago. During the course of his remarkable
career, he was instrumental in developing and refining many of the tools and
techniques that even today remain indispensable gold standards in treatment. In
1999 the journal Neurosurgery honored him as "Neurosurgery's Man of the Century
1950-1999."
Professor Yasargil's lifetime achievements include:

• Integration of angiography and microsurgical
  techniques
• Development and application of
  innovative instrumentation, including the floating microscope, the
  self-retaining adjustable retractor, and ergonomic aneurysm clips and appliers

Professor Yasargil's genius in developing microsurgical techniques for use in
cerebrovascular neurosurgery has transformed the outcomes of patients with
conditions that were previously inoperable. In this volume, you will witness the
establishment of a major plateau in the evolution of modern neurosurgery.
