The evolution of neurosurgery from the Mayan and Egyptian periods to the Renaissance and the 21st century was the result of many physicians and patients whose experiences lead to the revolution of modernization. Today, the field of neurosurgery is continuously expanding, aiming to introduce knowledge and technologies that could provide a new futuristic wave of medicine. METHODS: Given this background, our team selected relevant data from Medline published between 1936 and 2017. RESULTS: We included 91 articles on this topic, all of them providing enough information about the revolution and progress of brain surgery through the centuries as well as its potential expansion in the future.
