It was an honour to give the Robert Hansebout lecture on advances in epilepsy surgery @MacNeurosurgery.

I particularly enjoyed hearing from Dr. Hansebout about training with Penfield & Rasmussen, meeting the residents, and catching up with @WesternU_NSx alumnus @BillyHWang.

@MichaelYangMD @yycneurosurgery @mdelotbiniere @cathveille @RenaFar1 @heatherrossong @UofCmedicine @DCNSNeuro @CalgarySpine I think we're looking closer to an equal split across Canada.
@MacNeurosurgery current census is 7/14 (50%) as well! Last year was the same, and this year will be either 7/14 or 8/14 depending on who matches.

[Deep Guha, MD, PhD @DrDeepGuha]

First fully navigated oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) at HHS. Thanks to Dr. Neil Manson for the assist! @HamHealthSci @MacNeurosurgery @McMasterSurgery
