The end of this month is the 30th birthday of Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society. Since the first issue of Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society published in October, 1972, it has been developed in its quality as well as the quantity. More than 4000 articles have been published and tremendous contribution for the development of Korean Neurosurgical Society was made by the journal. The authors review the history of Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society including the problems in this situation and suggest the way to make the journal as an internationally famous one.

We experienced 4,945 cases of surgical operation at the Busan National University Hospital from Jan. 1966 to Dec. 1970. The cases that expired within the first 24 hours pastoperatively, were recorded as the postoperative death in this analysis. Thus, postoperative deaths were 126 cases, comprising 2,6 per cent of all the surgical operation. Emergency operation was 119 cases and neurosurgery was 90 cases among 126 cases, Above results imply that more careful attention and efforts to every emergency and neurosurgical case were needed.

The Department of Neurosurgery (DNS) of the Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH), belongs to the largest and oldest such institutions in Korea. Because of its growing reputation it is hardly surprising that the DNS draws visitor and scholars for clinical education and academic exchange from far beyond Korea. I myself visited the SNUH in February and March 2013. During this time I composed this evaluation in which I compare the DNS to my home Department at the Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz/Germany, as well as the situation of Neurosurgery in Korea and Germany in general. In the first part this evaluation summarizes data concerning equipment, staff and organizational structure, as well as educational and scientific issues of the DNS. In the second part some issues of interest are discussed in special regard to the corresponding practices in Germany.

The basic requirements for photomicrography of neurosurgery include the following : 1) proper microscope and accessories. 2) good knowledge about the surgical microscope and photographic instrument. 3) proper exposure. 4) sharp focus with adequate depth of field. 5) removal of factors which could cause a bad result. We will discuss about the set up of surgical microscope including photographic instruments and photographic technique.

The author conducted a survey on the current status of neurosurgery around the world in preparation for Presidential Address at the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN). The addresses and findings from the survey were presented at ISPN in 2006 and Child's Nervous System in 2007. After reviewing the current status of neurosurgery of various countries, the author would like to share this information with members of the Korean Neurosurgical Society, as well as offer a proposal to promote Korean neurosurgery around the world.
