Valedictory Note It has been both an honour and a privilege to serve as Chief Editor of Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery for the past ten years. During that time it has been a pleasure to work with distinguished colleagues from allover Europe and the yearly Editorial Board Meetings in London have enabled us to continue the tasks set by the founding members of the Board under Hugo Krayenbiihl' s direction. The increasing integration of Europe has seen the aims of those founding members and of their successors of increasing standards of education throughout Europe more readily realizable, and this progress will clearly continue. The excellence of our publishers, Springer-Verlag of Vienna has maintained an impeccable standard of production and has been of inestimable value to us throughout. With my retirement from active practice in 1995 it is a great pleasure to hand over the Chief Editorship to Professeur Fran~ois Cohadon knowing that with the support of a distinguished group of co-editors from all over Europe, his task will prove as successful and as pleasurable as has been my own.
