Abstract
In the past decades neurological surgery as a specialty has seen a burst of growth. As a result such multifaceted development has led to the fact that a single neurosurgeon might not be in a position to offer excellent expertise in all aspects of the speciality anymore. Consequently, groups of special interests have been forming in order to clinically and scientifically develop specific aspects of neurological surgery at a high level.
