Follow along as L. Dade Lunsford, MD, takes us through decades of pioneering innovation at the @UPMC Center for Image-Guided Neurosurgery, a legacy of advancing precision, technology, and patient care in neurosurgery.
Study evaluates 30-day readmission rates following craniotomies for brain tumor resection, focusing on causes, predictors, and their impact on overall survival. @pascalzinn@UPMCHillmanCC

Our new study in NOA @EditorNeuro shows that postoperative ischemic changes are independently associated with shorter survival in GBM. Findings underscore the clinical significance of postoperative infarcts in GBM. Read more: https://t.co/u9mqnbD3ue. @pascalzinn AhmedHabib
Excited to introduce the new open access Journal of Neuro-Oncology Discovery which will provide another platform for basic, translational, clinical, and interdisciplinary research in neuro-oncology. A big thank you to @jasonpsheehan and @SpringerNature!

In Memoriam: Professor M. Gazi Yaşargil (1925-2025)
The world of neurosurgery mourns the passing of Professor Mahmut Gazi Yaşargil, who died today at the age of 99, just one month before what would have been his 100th birthday celebration.
Born on July 6, 1925, in Turkey, Professor Yaşargil’s journey from a young medical student to becoming “Man of the Century 1950-1999” represents one of medicine’s most remarkable careers. Hailed as the “Neurosurgeon of the Century (1950–2000)” by the journal Neurosurgery in 1999, his innovations revolutionised surgical approaches to conditions that were previously considered inoperable.
On behalf of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS), we remember Professor M. Gazi Yaşargil not with sadness for what we have lost, but with gratitude for what he gave to the world.
We celebrate a life that fundamentally transformed neurosurgery and improved the lives of countless patients worldwide. His vision of precise, anatomically-informed microsurgery established principles that will guide neurosurgeons for generations to come. While his physical presence is no longer with us, his intellectual legacy lives on in every microsurgical procedure performed, every life saved through techniques he pioneered, and every neurosurgeon inspired by his example of excellence.
Rest in peace.

Excited to share our latest work in @NeurosurgeryCNS!
We analyzed the impact of ventricular entry during gbm resection and found it is an independent predictor of poor survival and increased distant recurrence. Read more: https://t.co/WNgeguHNlp @pascalzinn @AhmedHabibMD
Thrilled to share that our latest article has been published in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery! I'm incredibly proud of my team and deeply grateful to our mentor, Prof. Oran, for his guidance and support. #Neurointervention#Neuroradiology

I spent this summer at @PittNeurosurg under the supervision of L. Dade Lunsford, M.D. Also thanks to Dr. Niranjan, @hadjiMDPhD, @GAZenonosMD, and the entire @PittCIGNS team.
My moments in Pittsburgh are truly unforgettable. I look forward to the possibility of working together!
