/10 - skin and nerve hooks did you know? Sir Harold Delf Gillies was born in 1882 in New Zealand, and later became a London based otolaryngologist who is considered by many as the father of plastic surgery. In World War I, Dr. Gillies developed many of the techniques of modern plastic surgery from caring for soldiers suffering from disfiguring facial injuries. Dr. Gillies volunteered in France with the Red Cross, and during that time he learned about plastic surgery. His work was expanded upon during World War II by his cousin and a former student, who pioneered treatments for members of the Royal Air Force crew who suffered from severe burns. In 1946, Dr. Gillies carried out the first female-to-male sex reassignment surgery and in 1951 the first male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. He passed away in 1960. Walter Edward Dandy was an American neurosurgeon and scientist. He is widely considered as one of the founding fathers of neurosurgery, and is credited with numerous neurosurgical discoveries and innovations, including: Description of the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Surgical treatment of hydrocephalus, a condition in which fluid accumulates in the brain. Invention of air ventriculography, a method of taking x-ray pictures of the ventricles of the brain after air has been introduced to replace the cerebrospinal fluid. By introducing ventriculography in 1918, and later encephalography, he made the accurate diagnosis and localization of tumors of the brain and intracranial tissues possible. Introduction of pneumoencephalography, a radiographic visualization of the cerebral ventricles and subarachnoid spaces after the injection of air or gas. It has been largely replaced by CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) techniques. Description of brain endoscopy. Establishment of the first intensive care unit. First clipping of an intracranial aneurysm. Born in 1886, Dr. Dandy graduated in 1907 from the University of Missouri and enrolled in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, graduating in 1910 at the age of 24. He became the sixth appointee to the Hunterian Laboratory of Experimental Medicine under Harvey W. Cushing from 1910-1911. In 1911, he earned a Master of Arts degree for his work in the Hunterian Laboratory, and went on to join the Johns Hopkins Hospital surgical staff for one year as Dr. Cushing's Assistant Resident. Dr. Dandy completed his general surgical residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital under William S. Halsted in 1918. While Dr. Dandy was introduced to the field of neurosurgery by Dr. Cushing, it was George J. Heuer who completed Dr. Dandy's neurosurgical training following Dr. Cushing's departure in 1912. Dr. Heuer had graduated from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1908, worked as Dr. Cushing's first Assistant Resident from 1908-1909, and served as Dr. Halsted's Chief Resident from 1911 to 1914. When Dr. Heuer left Hopkins in 1922 to become the head of surgery at the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Dandy remained as the only neurosurgeon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital until his death in 1946. During his 40-year medical career his contributions to the field of neurosurgery include 159 articles and 5 books, among them a classic text on neurosurgery, "Surgery of the Brain". The discovery of ventriculography was considered his greatest contribution. Dr. Dandy also devised new instruments, including the Dandy Nerve Hook on page 8 of this section, and performed over 2,000 operations, among them operations for hydrocephalus, brain abscesses, subdural hematoma, trifacial neuralgia, and intervertebral discs. The Department of Neurosurgery at New York University was established with the recruitment of Thomas I. Hoen in 1951. Dr. Hoen's academic credentials included medical school at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland; a Halsted fellowship in surgery at Johns Hopkins; general surgery and then neurosurgical training at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, under Dr. Harvey Cushing; and further neurosurgical training under Dr. Wilder Penfield at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada. After training, Dr. Hoen accepted academic posts in Montreal and then was professor of neurology and neurosurgery at New York Medical College, Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospitals from 1931 to 1951. The Hoen Dural Separators are shown on page 6 in this section.
