Professor Vinko V. Dolenc, honored for his Exceptional Service to European Neurosurgery (obituary)

The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies - EANS expresses its deep sadness at the passing of Professor Vinko V. Dolenc, a pioneering figure in European neurosurgery and a true giant in the field of skull base surgery. At the EANS2022 Annual Congress in Belgrade, EANS had the honor of recognising Prof. Dolenc’s extraordinary contributions to the field by awarding him for his Exceptional Service to European Neurosurgery. Professor Dolenc, born on June 29, 1940, in Sestrže near Ptuj, Slovenia, dedicated his life to advancing the field of neurosurgery, particularly through his groundbreaking work in microsurgical techniques. After completing his medical education at the University of Ljubljana in 1966, he went on to specialize in neurosurgery, earning both his MA and specialist qualification in 1974, followed by his PhD in 1977. As Head of Neurosurgery at the Ljubljana University Clinic from 1985 to 2011, Professor Dolenc revolutionized neurosurgical practices in Eastern Europe and beyond. He was among the first surgeons worldwide to perform ruptured aneurism surgery in the acute phase and introduced microsurgical techniques to neurosurgery in the former Yugoslavia, performing the first microsurgery of a damaged peripheral nerve in 1969. Professor Dolenc's passing marks the end of an era in European neurosurgery. His pioneering spirit, innovative approaches, and dedication to teaching have left an indelible mark on our field. The EANS board extends its deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, and the global neurosurgical community. His contributions will continue to influence and inspire future generations of neurosurgeons worldwide. Prof. Dr. Vinko Dolenc obituary https://bit.ly/4apkzyU Not a member of EANS yet?
