title: Thoughts on the present and future of pediatric neurosurgery. Skull base surgery, spinal instrumentation, and neuroendoscopy.
abstract: As part of a series of essays about the first 25 years of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery--what we have accomplished and where we have been--I have decided to turn my attention to where we are now and where we are going. A corollary to consider, perhaps, is where we should be going. In other words, what is the appropriate relationship between pediatric neurosurgery and general neurosurgery?
