Following my initial five years with Prof. B.
Ramamurthi, I went abroad and worked in Dublin
and various centers in England. I obtained
F.R.C.S and Diplomate of National Board during
my stay in England.
On
my return to India in 1993, I joined
Apollo hospital, Chennai
(Madras)
as a consultant Neurosurgeon and started
Aneurismal surgery, anterior approaches to the
spines, Transoral and Transnaso-sphenoidal
procedures in the city of Madras (Chennai) on a
regular basis.
I
was refused admission to neurosurgical
post graduate course in Madras for years, at a
time when it was one of the easiest things for a
medical graduate. That, perhaps, was the reason
for my going abroad and certainly is the reason
for this site.
This is a collection of lecture notes by various
contributors. I do not think references really
help the readers; instead, I have provided a
collection of links to selected web pages
related to the topic at the end of each article.
'Only union of Medicine and Surgery constitutes
the complete doctor;
the doctor who lacks
the knowledge of one of these branches is like a
bird
with only one wing'.

Indian Surgeon (click
for his legacy).
I started this site in mid 2000 with frequent
updates since; I still have some more to add. I
do hope this site will be of help to the young
neurosurgeons and the public.
I
thank my friends for helping me host this
site.
Thanks for visiting.
