This 40 year-old man suddenly collapsed on the street with a cardiac arrest. He was flown to us by London Air Ambulance, already intubated.

This is the first video in our Brainbook GoPro series, showing you neurosurgery from the surgeon's perspective, literally!

The case video shows CT and MRI scans together with endoscopic surgery (using a camera to look inside the brain) as well as GoPro footage of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt insertion.

This patient came to the neurosurgical clinic after several months of not being able to walk properly and losing his memory. The scans showed a cyst in the middle of his brain which was stopping the normal drainage of fluid from in and around his brain.

The success of this operation is determined by how well the surgeon sets the operation up, from how they are lying, to the angle of the head and the place where the surgeon will enter the skull. The point where they need to enter to access the nerve is very close to major veins that drain blood away from the brain. Ploughing into one of these draining veins could end in catastrophic results!

Join The Brain Surgeon's Vlog as we head to the rooftop helipad of the Royal London Hospital to meet London's Air Ambulance! This is where neurosurgery meets emergency medicine.

This week The Brain Surgeon's Vlog takes you on a vlog tour of The Royal London major trauma hospital. Gain access to areas that haven't been seen before, with a personal tour by a brain surgeon!

The Neurosurgery physician associate UK - in the UK physician associates are a relatively new but super important part of the NHS. There are less than 10 neurosurgery PAs in the whole of the UK and Hira is one of them. Listen to her talk about her day-to-day role as the neurotrauma PA in one of the UK's busiest major trauma centres.

We're taking a deep dive into Neurosurgery (UK) by taking a look at what The Consultant Neurosurgeon does on a day-to-day basis. Mr. Chris Uff is the Chief of the Neurosurgery Department at The Royal London Hospital and sub-specialises in vascular Neurosurgery and Neurotrauma.

Molly is a neurosurgery nurse at the Royal London Hospital. In this video meet Molly as she talks about her role and her pathway to becoming a neurosurgery nurse in London. Get an insight into what her job is like and hopefully be inspired!

Lumbar spinal surgery - percutaneous fixation This video shows a patient with a broken lumbar spine having "percutaneous fixation" in the operating theatre. The patient broke their lower back and required screws and rods to keep the broken part of the spine stable. It's possible to do this "percutaneously" which means through the skin, which is slightly less invasive for the patient.

The Global Neurotrauma Outcomes Study is a prospective, multi-centre, international cohort study of outcomes following emergency surgery for traumatic brain injury.

In this vlog I'm going to explore some of these common misconceptions about neurosurgery!

Unboxing Robot Arm - Synaptive Modus V This is probably one of the more insane unboxing videos you'll see on Youtube as it's a robotic arm with a microscope attached to it that we use during brain surgery! The arm itself uses the Canadarm tech from the International Space Station.

Fixing a broken neck - an illustrated case journey shows you how neurosurgeons can fix a broken neck.

Join Hayley in her journey through awake surgery for a brain tumour. This video contains real footage of awake surgery so may not be appropriate for all viewers.

This video is for anyone with an interest in neurosurgery but primarily aimed at medical students, nurses and junior doctors.

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a neurosurgeon on call is like? Join us for the 28 hour on-call with a neurosurgery resident in a UK major trauma centre and feel free to pop us any questions in the comments section!

We get a lot of questions about how to get into neurosurgery residency in the UK. This video is not exhaustive but covers a lot of the things you need to start thinking about to get into neurosurgery residency. This video on how to get into neurosurgery residency is primarily aimed at people in the UK, but a lot of it will be broadly applicable to global neurosurgery residency programmes.

The gut brain axis describes the complex interaction between the brain, the enteric nervous system in the gut and the microbiome. Come and learn about how the gut brain axis works!
