“The great schools of microsurgery taught generations of neurosurgeons to master microscopic anatomy […]. All of it was sustained by a solid tradition, by masters who passed on not only knowledge, but a philosophy of the surgical act.”Dr. Francisco González-Llanos · Anuario iSanidad · May 2026 · translated from Spanish
