A real turbulence of mixed feelings!! Tears in my eyes when I think about what I leave behind @OSUWexMed @NeurosurgeryOSU @OSUCCC_James and a joy of excitement when I think about the future @UNC @UNCneurosurgery! Thank you @RussellLonser for your friendship and mentorship!!
End of an era. After years of building something special at the Ohio State University Neurosurgery (@NeurosurgeryOSU), Danny Prevedello (@PrevedelloDanny) is heading to UNC to become Chair. Brilliant surgeon, great partner, better friend. Go get 'em. @OhioStateMed @OSUWexMed #Neurosurgery #Buckeyes

We are delighted to share a new educational video as part of our Neurosurgery Index Case Series. Our latest instalment provides an overview of microsurgical clipping for intracranial aneurysms, covering key principles, surgical anatomy, and operative technique to support learning for students, trainees, and anyone with an interest in cerebrovascular neurosurgery. We hope you find it informative and valuable. @hani_marcus @PatrickGrover4 youtube.com/watch?v=aFiu-8Iw… Other videos: qssimulationcentre.com/libra…

🚨🧠 Can the oldest operation in neurosurgery be improved? Burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural haematoma has changed remarkably little for centuries. Yet 1 in 5 patients still require repeat surgery because the haematoma recurs. MMA embolisation targets the artery thought to drive recurrence, but requires a separate procedure. Could we achieve the same goal during the original operation? The #BURRMMA study at @QSNeurosurgery is investigating whether neuronavigation can identify the middle meningeal artery during routine burr-hole surgery, allowing direct coagulation at the time of haematoma evacuation. These images show the first patient treated in the prospective IDEAL Stage 2a BURR-MMA clinical trial, with direct visualisation of the MMA trunk before bipolar coagulation. #Neurosurgery #cSDH #ClinicalTrials #Innovation @QSNeurosurgery @uclh @UCLIoN

Another successful course at Queen Square! 🧠 We hosted our Neuro-Oncology Course on Saturday, where participants got hands-on experience across five simulation stations covering IONM, DTI, 5-ALA fluorescence-guided resection, MIS approaches, and intraoperative ultrasound. A huge thank you to our wonderful faculty, facilitators, and sponsors - none of this would be possible without you. 💙 #NeuroOncology #Neurosurgery #QSSimCentre #QueenSquare
