Having complications is inevitable during neurosurgical training. Having the right supports, and the relentless drive to learn from each of them is essential. Congrats Dr. Catherine Veilleux and Brij Karmur on leading this reflection piece Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences. doi.org/10.1017/cjn.20…

Michael Yang, MD MSc FRCSC Brij Karmur Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences Such an honest and much needed conversation. Kudos to the three of you on this great article. I'm sure Emergency Medicine residents would benefit from readings as there are some great pearls of wisdom to deal with these very difficult situations.

Had a great time presenting on Spinal Endoscopy at the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation Conference #CNSF2025 in beautiful Ottawa 🇨🇦. The interest around spinal endoscopy in Canada was unparalleled!

The Calgary Endoscopic Spine Surgery Program was featured in Calgary Health Foundation’s Breakthroughs Magazine last fall. Since our first case in Jan 20th, more than 30 patients have benefitted from endoscopy. We are on track to helping up to 80-100 patients this year!

How do you facilitate the resection of an intradural component of a nerve sheath tumour? Valsalva manoeuvre to 40cmH20, using CSF pressure to "pop" out the tumour. Ultrasound shows complete resection of intradural component.
