Dear Colleague,

Cerebrovascular and skull base diseases are undergoing a revolution in management options – making clinical decisions even more challenging in the contemporary era.

We continue our tradition of honest introspection, innovation, and debate in the seventh MGB Global Neurosurgery Symposium. Fueled by a collective mandate to improve the care provided to patients and their long-term outcomes, creative minds and masters in cerebrovascular and skull base surgery, along with affiliated fields, will congregate in a unified setting to probe how we deliver care, make decisions, manage complications, build comraderies, and learn.

This year, we have partnered with the Yaşargil Microneurosurgery Academy to bring an enhanced focus on existing challenges and opportunities locally and globally. The Yaşargil Microneurosurgery Academy is committed and focused on the advancement and education of Microneurosurgery.

We look forward to welcoming colleagues, meeting new friends, and becoming better together.

Sincerely,

Ali Aziz-Sultan, MD, MBA
