ABSTRACT

Dr. Nurhan Avman (1928–1988) worked in the Neurosurgery Department of Hacettepe University between 1960 and 1965, and in the Neurosurgery Department of Ankara University between 1965 and 1988.

Dr. Avman not only established modern neurosurgery and microsurgery in Turkey, but succeeded in carrying out many contemporary spine and spinal cord procedures. He was a pioneer of many novel spine interventions in Turkey.

In this article, Dr. Avman's spine and spinal cord surgery-related studies will be reviewed.
