The field of neurosurgery is directly, and indirectly, impacted by these changes which is affecting the way we manage neurosurgical diseases. We believe that our specialty deals with the most complex structure known to man, the Central Nervous System (CNS), which demands us to be part of this revolution. Thus, we dedicated this year’s meeting to introduce and explore new inventions, latest technologies and the endless opportunities they create to advance our filed. The theme for this year meeting is “Invention, Innovation and Technology transfer”.The three-day scientific program (April 8-10, 2017) included latest advances in medicine in general and neurosurgery in particular. Focused sessions divided between neurosurgery sub-specialties will be also conducted. The included top 20 abstracts were selected and reviewed by a committee based on their scientific value and contribution to the field of neurosurgery.Meeting HighlightsUsage of brain training application improve cognitive function among healthy subjects: pilot studyAssociation of hepatic aminotransferase levels with mortality and complications of cerbrovascular stroke: a multicenter study in Saudi Arabia
