Halfway through the week and have clipped 3 aneurysms, resected 3 tumors in addition to a contralateral interhemispheric transfalcine approach for ventricular cavernoma. Elegant approach with minimal brain transection. Great things happening at

Excited to be able to present my work with organoid transplantation in motor cortex done under the T32 Brain Injury Training Grant, and even more excited for the ongoing support from research and neurosurgical mentors!

Treatment paradigms for patients with severe central cord syndrome (American Spinal Injury Association [ASIA] Impairment Scale [AIS] C) should be redefined to encompass early surgical decompression as a neuroprotective therapy.
Great article covering the amazing Presby trauma team!

We did this by creating a large labeled library of pediatric brain tissue samples gathered prospectively from 29 patients, which were analyzed with Raman spectroscopy and which also underwent histopathological review:
Superb lecture today by Matthew Howard, III, honoring the contributions of Jurg L. Jaggi, PhD to functional neurosurgery. Dr. Howard described the challenges, strategies, and rewards of academic neurosurgery, going from A to B, role of mentors, building teams, and collaborations
Patient survey results suggest scrub color impacts ability to be perceived as a surgeon as well as how trustworthy, caring, skilled, and knowledgeable a provider is.
