This book is dedicated to my revered teacher of neurosurgery Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Seeger 1929–2018 There is hardly anyone whose life was so identifiable with anatomy and microneurosurgery as Wolfgang Seeger. Pursuing his vision of anatomically guided surgery, he worked tirelessly to make functional anatomy and its evolutional basis understandable for neurosurgeons. His work supported by his enormous artistic abilities is reflected in 25 image atlases, the last of them he just finished the day before he passed away.
Wolfgang Seeger was one of the outstanding personalities pioneering the development of neurosurgery from a life- preserving to a function-preserving discipline. In everyday clinical life, Wolfgang Seeger always convinced by his natural authority based on his tremendous work, his enormous knowledge and experience, his modest and friendly personality, and his open management style frankly addressing surgical errors, mistakes, and misadventures. In search for scientific truth, he never got tired of teaching his fellows to distinguish between assumptions and facts when discussing, always with compassion and deep respect for patients and for life. This philosophy will continue to live in his numerous neurosurgical scholars and their follow-up generation as well as in his textbooks.
