WFNS World Congress of Neurosurgery in Istanbul, Turkey. It is a great honor to host the most in uential gathering of neurosurgeons and neuroscientists in this historic capital. With its bene cial location, connecting Europe and Asia, facilitating traveling to the “Olympics of Neurosurgery” and its welcoming atmosphere, Istanbul bridges the Orient and the Occident in the most natural manner, creating the perfect environment for the exchange of scienti c knowledge and friendship. Just as Istanbul unites in uences of its remarkable history with the young and modern vibe of a futuristic metropolis, the art of neurological surgery fuses established techniques with modern technology. The historical sites, ancient ruins of the Byzantine Empire, the traditional bazaars and the marvelous religious edi ces o er a one of a kind atmosphere, encapsulating the city and taking you on a unique journey through our history and culture. The breathtaking beauty of the turquoise sea of diamonds, the Bosporus, divides Asia and Europe, just to be joining the two beautiful shores in Istanbul. With great respect to our remarkable past, the city presents a modernized surrounding with its countless educational institutions, its developing infrastructure, and national and international shopping possibilities. We want to introduce you to the spark of the city and take you on an adventure you will always remember. Our mesmerizing social activities and surprises await you! Istanbul has always been the melting point of di erent cultural, religious, and political backgrounds and will now o er the stage for international neurosurgeons to get together in the name of science in de ance of political disputes around the world. It is in our power to pass our scienti c memento the next generation to let the spirit of neurosurgery evolve. Countless surgeons and scientists have honored this outstanding operation style and its sensitive approach. The earliest manifestation of interventions done to the skull were discovered when ancient skulls with arti cial holes were found. The establishment of the modern understanding of neurosurgery in the early 20th century evened out the scienti c journey for surgeons, who then operated in theaters and were respected for their craft. More and more young doctors were intrigued by the mysteries the brain was hiding. When nally, in 1955, a meeting of senior European neurosurgeons and representatives of 17 national neurosurgical societies took place in Brussels, with which the WFNS laid its rst milestone. The hard work of our teachers and their teachers is the reason we devote ourselves to go beyond limits and make the impossible possible. With great respect to the history of our profession, it is our duty to continue our mission and keep the Olympic re of Neurosurgery alive. Our union on behalf of neurosurgery clears the way for innovation in our eld. To aid this progression, we have to join forces, build up on previous knowledge and add new ideas, techniques and information to lead our minds to grow. The scienti c program of the World Congress 2017 o ers distinguished pre-congress courses, highly educational and fascinating presentations. I strongly believe these sessions, symposia and presentations will guide our young neurosurgeons, expanding their intellects and introducing them to paths for a brighter future. I am digni ed that in the face of current political disturbances and the internationally threatening terror, we have organized a state of the art congress, aiming to satisfy our highly-respected colleagues and dear friends. This is proof that science will always conquer fear and that we will always unite to carry out our profession with dignity and honor, regardless of boundaries we face. The amazing echo and positive response to our Congress with its 648 speakers from 90 countries despite the politically tumultuous times around the world, lls me with pride and shows that science will always nd its way. I owe gratitude to all my dear colleagues, who contributed immensely to the accomplishment of our congress. They worked sel essly for the success of the WFNS, and for that I am very grateful. On behalf of the Organising Committee, I wish you all an unforgettable time in Istanbul. May this congress lead to stronger friendships, inspirations and new international connections in the mission of our neurosurgical calling. Uğur Türe President, WFNS XVI.
