The experimental laboratory has been of paramount importance in the development and evolution of neurosurgery. In that research environment, many neurosurgical techniques were designed and the classics approaches to different regions of the brain were refined, until turning neurological surgery into atraumatic procedure, fulfilling one of the founding axioms of this speciality, that of delicate treatment on brain tissue, advocated by Harvey Cushing and later optimized by Professor Gazy Yasargil. The scenarios, their main characters, and the contributions they made to the development and progress of neurosurgery have all been analyzed in this article from a historical standpoint.
El laboratorio experimental tuvo una importancia capital en el desarrollo y la evolución de la neurocirugía. En ese ambiente investigador se diseñaron muchas técnicas neuroquirúrgicas y se refinaron los accesos clásicos a diferentes regiones del cerebro, hasta llegar a convertir la cirugía neurológica en un procedimiento atraumático, cumpliéndose uno de los axiomas fundacionales de esta especialidad, el trato delicado del tejido cerebral, propugnado por Harvey Cushing y optimizado, más tarde, por el profesor Gazy Yasargil. Desde una perspectiva histórica, se han analizado los escenarios de investigación, los protagonistas y sus respectivas aportaciones al desarrollo y el progreso de la neurocirugía.
