Resumen
MOSQUERA BETANCOURT, Gretel; CASARES ALBERNAS, Fermín y VILAPLANA SANTALO, Carlos. Historical moments and significant professors of the neurosurgery in Camagüey. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2011, vol.33, suppl.7, pp.901-915. ISSN 1684-1824.
Since the foundation of the Neurology Service of the University Hospital Manuel Ascunce Domenech at the end of the decade of the 60, it has kept a sustained development in the different branches of the general neurosurgery, becoming a territorial teaching-assistancial service. The achieved development has been due to the efforts and dedication of its professors staff. Some of them have physically departed but have left their legacy in the new generations of neurosurgeons that continue developing the specialty in the territory. The objective of the current work is highlighting the inestimable work of two eminent Camagüeyan neurosurgeons that marked the development of this specialty out, the professors Enrique Mendoza Rivera and Sergio Vega Basalto. In the same way we mentioned important moments in the advance of our service after its foundation. After 1982 the vascular surgery is potentiated at the expenses of the surgical treatment of the brain aneurisms, the introduction of the computerized axial tomography at the end of the 90s, the application of the stereotactic surgery in the brain tumor treatment and the development of the neurotraumatology, all of them transcendental moments of the Camagüeyan neurosurgery. The results of the medical assistance have been supported by the achievements obtained in the scientific research. The beginning of the endoscopic neurosurgery and the application of the ambulatory surgery for the treatment of the cervical and lumbar disk hernia since 2010 have been the ultimate progress of our service.
