Abstract

The Cleveland Clinic Department of Neurological Surgery is highly specialized and integrated with other disciplines in a patient- and disease-centric manner. In order to understand the current state of the Department within the context of the Cleveland Clinic and its international reach, an appreciation of the foundation upon which it stands is critical. We review its history from inception to current state and highlight the notable figures that have influenced the department and residency training program over the years. We conclude with a look at the future and the contributions of Cleveland Clinic neurosurgery that may shape the way Neurosurgery and medicine is practiced.
