Abstract
Microsurgery is a remarkable gift that Professor Yaşargil has bestowed upon humanity, revolutionizing the field of surgery and opening up new possibilities for potential cure. In his brilliant career, Professor Yaşargil after his retirement from the chairmanship at the University of Zurich, he was accepted the invitation to join the department of neurosurgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. We reflect on these very special years during which we had the opportunity to witness not only his devotion to microneurosurgery, and his scholarly scientific indulgence, but also his humanistic attributes. He touched the lives of so many through the years.
