Eminent neurosurgeon Dr Keki E. Turel, in the 1980s, was among the pioneers of micro neurosurgery in India when the brain was being operated on with magnifying loupes.
It is well known that microneurosurgery is now the basis of all surgeries on the brain, spine and nerves, revolutionising the results by increasing the surgical scope and safety and minimising morbidity and mortality, which at one time was the bane of neurosurgery.
Dr Keki Turel has witnessed the evolution of neurosurgery from the pre-CT scan era of the seventies to the development of modern imaging and operating room technology.
