Nick was a true visionary, a father of neuroendovascular surgery, a warrior who fought to realize this specialty, a ski buddy, a mentor, a gracious host to the best annual meeting in neurosurgery in his basement, an honest man, a family man, a man who lived to the fullest and battled to the fullest to hold onto his life. His spirit will live on for generations in the many trainees and friends who he molded and inspired….
Friends and colleagues, Last night we lost a true icon in neurosurgery. The visionary neurosurgeon L. Nelson “Nick” Hopkins III passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.
Nick was a true innovator whose legacy to our specialty is the field known as neuro Endovascular. He was so much more than my former chairman—Nick was a father figure and dear friend, entrusting his creation to me to carry on and grow into @UB_Neurosurgery we have today.
Nick always said regarding creating disruptive technologies, “If it doesn’t create a visceral reaction, it’s probably not worth doing.” His kindness and ethos will forever be championed by his many disciples across the world.
We hope you share your comments with us here so we may all show how he touched so many of us. Godspeed Nick. 🙏🏻
Looking forward to going back to where it all began and meeting dear friends and colleagues 15 years after the fellowship 🤩@UofTNeuroSurge – at Mannheim, Germany
We have an impressive lineup of #speakers, moderators, and expert #panelists for our #VascularNeurosurgery event on May 25, including @DrFadyCharbel @MatoukCharles @AANeurosurgeon @NimaE @vitorpereiracan @Operatingnheels.

...As neurosurgery combines surgical science & athleticism, so is neurosurgical influence becoming a combination of academic contributions & technical excellence. We all need mentors beyond our faculty & can find them thru videos comprising a “virtual residency” that can educate & empower aspiring neurosurgeons, and transcend time, travel, prescribed rotations, expense…

Thx to @TheJNS for highlighting our study on Microvasc. Decompression for #TrigeminalNeuralgia. Years ago, I was inspired by Japanese colleagues who recommended transposition over interposition. A truly elegant and presumably less invasive detail for the TN. Here our experience

CMOSS is out. Large, important study.
“Future trials of EC-IC bypass may need larger sample sizes, refined patient selection (eg, MCA occlusion, MTT >6 seconds or rCBF ≤0.8), and longer follow-up time.”
Lower stroke rate, but non-significant result, in bypass vs med mgmt.
No pictures can really capture the beauty of our planet but I tried. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Thank you for presenting our data @NickBrandmeir - indeed it is good idea to irrigate blood quickly away in hemorrhagic stroke. @CNS_Update #CNS2023
