As neurosurgeons around the world prepared to meet in Zurich to celebrate the 100th birthday of Professor M. Gazi Yaşargil, just few weeks before this this extraordinary occasion, Prof. M. Gazi Yaşargil, our teacher, passed away.
 
Throughout his illustrious career, which was largely based at the University Hospital Zurich, Professor Yaşargil revolutionized modern neurosurgery, significantly improving patients’ outcome and training generations of neurosurgeons worldwide. His work in microneurosurgical anatomy, as well as development of microsurgical techniques and instruments, continues to shape the field and significantly impact patient outcomes across the globe. After careful consideration, and after seeking the advice and approval of Miss Dianne, his beloved wife, we have decided that the “100th Anniversary Symposium” will take place in memoriam of Professor Yaşargil.
 
Globally distinguished neurosurgical experts will convene in Zurich to pay tribute to Professor Yaşargil and his unparalleled contributions to neurosurgery, reflect on his enduring influence, and celebrate his remarkable legacy.
 
Together we will remember the man, the teacher, the genius. Together we will carry on his work and his teachings.

Where: Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
When: From 4th to 7th of July, 2025

We look forward to welcoming you to Zurich.
Prof. Luca Regli and Prof. Imad N. Kanaan
