Is Neurosurgery, including endovascular neurosurgery, transitioning to ambulatory surgery centers without any inpatient stay? @EladLevyMD is leading the way and making it work, which he shared as our visiting professor and Barrow Ball guest @BarrowNeuro …

Leo Nelson (Nick) Hopkins passed last night at the place he imagined and created, the #GatesVascularInstitute in #Buffalo, New York. On behalf of all the members of the @JacobsInstitute and the Canon #Stroke and #Vascular Research Center, we send our most sincere wishes to Bonnie, Jane, Bob, Margie and Betsy and their kids, and express our enduring commitment to live out the vision of Dr. Hopkins and honor his legacy of genuine collaboration, inventive spirit, and humble leadership. @UBuffalo @KaleidaHealth @Jacobs_Med_UB #neurosurgery #endovascular

Friends and colleagues, Last night we lost a true icon in neurosurgery. The visionary neurosurgeon L. Nelson “Nick” Hopkins III passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family. Nick was a true innovator whose legacy to our specialty is the field known as neuro Endovascular. He was so much more than my former chairman—Nick was a father figure and dear friend, entrusting his creation to me to carry on and grow into @UB_Neurosurgery we have today. Nick always said regarding creating disruptive technologies, “If it doesn’t create a visceral reaction, it’s probably not worth doing.” His kindness and ethos will forever be championed by his many disciples across the world. We hope you share your comments with us here so we may all show how he touched so many of us. Godspeed Nick. 🙏🏻

No a multicenter study, but kind of a multicenter wedding. @AliBaajMD @PeterNakajiMD @jeffreymullinmd @MichaelLimMD @UB_Neurosurgery @StanfordNsurg @BannerHealth @hospitalfernandezarg Thanks to all for making our day so amazing

Research from #SNIS members proves that middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) is a safe and effective treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (CSH). This finding will ensure more patients live longer and independent lives after CSH. Learn more below! @EVToday

Thank you to the leadership in organized neurosurgery for condemning terrorism. We, as citizens of this world, must never be silent when innocent civilians are targeted and abducted. ⁦@CNS_Update⁩ ⁦@AANSNeuro⁩ ⁦@KatieOrrico⁩ ⁦@SNS_Neurosurg⁩.
