Professor Saito and Ooka from our department attended the CNS (Congress of Neurological Surgeons) 2024 Annual Meeting, held in Houston, Texas, from September 28 to October 2. Professor Saito, as the President of the Japan Neurosurgical Society, delivered an invited lecture, where he presented an overview of this year's Annual Meeting of the Japan Neurosurgical Society and shared the efforts of the various groups within Nagoya University’s Department of Neurosurgery. Our colleague, Dr. Tomoya Nishii (Sakura General Hospital), gave an oral presentation, while Ooka presented a poster. This congress gathered neurosurgeons from across North America, providing a valuable opportunity to present the latest research, foster connections with overseas neurosurgeons, and explore cutting-edge surgical devices displayed in the exhibition.
We welcomed Professor Juergen Beck, Dr. Katharina Wolf, and Dr. Amir El Rahal from the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Freiburg in Germany, and held a lecture at our department. In their lectures, they presented the latest research results on imaging diagnosis and surgical treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (low cerebrospinal fluid pressure). There was a lot of Q&A and lively discussion, and all the participants were able to deepen their knowledge. Furthermore, this lecture was a very valuable opportunity that marked a new step in academic exchange between Nagoya University and Freiburg University.
