Abstract:
Based on personal experience, a retrospective analysis of the changes in neurosurgical thinking during the past 50 years is presented. The four phases of the organisational pattern are discussed. The contributions of a few pioneer neurosurgeons are emphasized. The impact of revolutionary technical improvements on future neurosurgeons should be balanced by sound clinical judgement--as "novelty is not equal to creativity."
