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.

Tengo la impresión de que el Papa Francisco hizo todo lo que pudo por reformar y actualizar la Iglesia, y que llegó hasta donde le dejaron. Se le recordará como un hombre bueno, cabal, que miró hacia adelante, en vez de aferrarse al pasado. Descanse en Paz.
En medio de tanto dolor nos llega una buena noticia, los equipos Apolo 27 y Apolo 27 RC, obtienen 8 premios en la NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge 2025. Felicidades muchachos, será un honor recibirlos en el Palacio Nacional.
Gracias a cada corazón solidario que ha dicho presente. En medio del dolor, su generosidad ha sido un rayo de esperanza. 🙏
Aún podemos seguir salvando vidas.
