AB The 9th Saudi Association of Neurological Surgery (9th SANS) Annual Meeting was held in the Sheraton Dammam Hotel and Towers, Dammam, Saudi Arabia on March 3-5, 2015, organized by the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Dammam with a theme of “Research is the Bridge to the Future.” The meeting was preceded by a Public Awareness Campaign on March 2, 2015 held at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, and several pre-conference workshops that were highly beneficial for neurosurgery today. The scientific program was loaded with innovative and interactive presentations from respected and reputable speakers from different parts of the world. Abstracts were carefully selected and reviewed based on their scientific value and relevance to the clinical, surgical, academic, and research aspects of neurosurgery in the Kingdom, and the world.Meeting Highlights: Training and research in neurosurgery: Where are we?Research is the bridge to the futureAcademic neurosurgerySurvey of the h-Index for neurosurgeons in Saudi ArabiaAntisecretory factor a new peptide reducing intracranial pressureMisclassification of research methods in neurosurgeryThe supraorbital-orbitotomy minicraniotomy for anterior circulation aneurysmsCharacteristics, management, and outcome of intracranial pediatric aneurysmsIs pterional craniotomy adequate for total removal of olfactory groove meningioma?Endoscopic extracapsular resection of functioning pituitary Adenomas: technique and early outcomesFree calcium and the extracellular calcium-sensing receptors regulate the degeneration of human cartilaginous endplatesSerum leukocyte count (WBC) levels as an indicator for severity of traumatic brain injury in patients in Saudi ArabiaComparative analysis of anterior versus posterior decompression and stabilisation in burst fracture at the thoraco-lumbar junction with neurological deficitPreventable mortality and morbidity due to medical error in the management of acute neurotrauma casesAtlas instrumentation guided by the medial edge of the posterior arch: An anatomic studyCavernous sinus surgery: Serving the BOSS (base of skull surgery)Unusual intracerebral schwannomaSubpial resection: Virtual reality simulation scenario on the NeuroTouch platformCavernous sinus involvement by pituitary adenomas: Clinical implications, outcomes of endoscopic endonasal resection, and proposed treatment algorithmsNeurosurgical management of intracranial epidermoid tumors in childrenTransnasal endoscopic surgery for skull base lesions: KFSH-D experienceSpinal navigation associated with IOM: A new protocolPrestige cervical disc replacement to treat degenerative disc disease: 2 years follow up from an international prospective, multicenter, observational studyHigh accuracy of fluoroscopic based navigation of pedicle screw fixation in the lumbar spine utilizing cylinder pedicle design: Innovative techniqueRole of stereotactic and epilepsy surgery in the evolution of brain scienceStereotactic neurosurgery for psychiatric disordersAn in-vitro and an in-vivo study of direct reprogramming of astrocytes to neurons using vector specific transcription factors in canine stroke models and humans cellsMinimal invasive correction of frontal plagiocephaly without the use of helmets: Technical modifications and faster correctionManagement of enlarging syrinxes after decompression for Chiari I malformationDecompressive craniectomy in the management of medically intractable intracranial hypertensionThe vertebral artery anatomy in relation to cervical pedicles in a Saudi population: A morphometric analysis for surgical considerations
