title: Victor Darwin Lespinasse: a biographical sketch.
abstract: The first neuroendoscopic procedure was performed before 1913 by Victor Darwin Lespinasse, a Chicago urologist. He never reported it, thinking it to be "an intern's stunt." He achieved a measure of fame for his advocacy of testicular transplantation.
