Abstract:
The cosmetic aspects of neurosurgery are important and make a considerable difference to the patient's quality of life. In general, the saying is true that "at a cocktail party, the patient should not be recognized as having had neurosurgery, or, even better, the patient's own neurosurgeon should not be able to detect which side the patient was operated on when the patient is seen in the office 6 months later without looking at the chart."
