The idea to design a Basic Set of Neurosurgical Instruments
originated because of the observations we made of the extremely
difficult conditions under which neurosurgeons of the world‘s
poorest countries have to work. One of the most prominent
problems is the lack of appropriate neurosurgical instruments.
Furthermore, these countries suffer from a shortage of specialized
neurosurgeons who can train other surgeons and residents to
optimize the treatment and thereby also the outcome for neurosurgical
patients.
With this Basic Set of Neurosurgical Instruments, WFNS, together
with Aesculap, has initiated a worldwide project. It provides an
attractive platform for sponsoring adequate neurosurgical instruments
in countries that are in great need of such equipment.
This set of instruments can be used for the most common neurosurgical
procedures. Along with the Basic Set of Neurosurgical
Instruments we also provide basic neurosurgical training for
general surgeons who must render such services in developing
countries. It is also our intention to help neurosurgeons improve the
standards of neurosurgical procedures in hospitals of poor countries.
We hope to find numerous sponsors who will purchase this Basic
Set of Neurosurgical Instruments and thereby support physicians
in developing countries who are devoted to neurosurgery and to
helping their patients.
I am extremely grateful to b
