Preface
As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young
neurosurgeons, we began to publish in 1974 this series of
Advances and
Technical Standards in Neurosurgery
which was later sponsored by the
European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.
This series was first discussed in 1972 at a combined meeting of the
Italian and German Neurosurgical Societies in Taormina, the founding
fathers of the series being Jean Brihaye, Bernard Pertuiset, Fritz Loew and
Hugo Krayenbuhl. Thus were established the principles of European co-
operation which have been born from the European spirit, flourished in
the European Association, and have been associated throughout with this
series.
The fact that the English language is now the international medium for
communication at European scientific conferences is a great asset in terms
of mutual understanding. Therefore we have decided to publish all contri-
butions in English, regardless of the native language of the authors.
All contributions are submitted to the entire editorial board before
publication of any volume for scrutiny and suggestions for revision.
Our series is not intended to compete with the publications of original
scientific papers in other neurosurgical journals. Our intention is, rather, to
present fields of neurosurgery and related areas in which important recent
advances have been made. The contributions are written by specialists in
the given fields and constitute the first part of each volume.
In the second part of each volume, we publish detailed descriptions of
standard operative procedures and in depth reviews of established knowl-
edge in all aspects of neurosurgery, furnished by experienced clinicians.
This part is intended primarily to assist young neurosurgeons in their
postgraduate training. However, we are convinced that it will also be use-
ful to experienced, fully trained neurosurgeons.
We hope therefore that surgeons not only in Europe, but also
throughout the world, will profit by this series of
Advances and Technical
Standards in Neurosurgery.
