After over 25 years, we went back to skiing but now with the whole crew. Turns out you don’t forget skiing, just need a warm up !
All kids are now skiers, some even went down all the way from the top of the mountain
Wonderful times at Lake Tahoe, gorgeous views, amazing slopes, and fresh powder !!
Can’t wait to the next one…

Gray’s Anatomy 43rd is here!
Honored to contribute again to this legendary textbook
After removing V2 from the cavernous sinus in earlier editions, this time we unveil the ventral anatomy of the central skull base and parasellar ligaments—illustrated brilliantly by Josh Klein.
167 years of anatomical evolution in one book!

20 years ago, I finished residency training at La Paz University Hospital in Madrid and continued my journey in USA following the giant steps of Prof. Rhoton

Today I returned to my Neurosurgical Alma Mater as honored guest to the XVI Spanish Skull Base Society congress

Thankful for the recognition
Overwhelmed by the impact of our academic work
Proud of the outstanding level of Skull Base Surgery in Spain

De Madrid al cielo…

In this recent study we analyze the different techniques for pituitary transposition and propose an algorithm to determine best strategy based on tumor type and location.
Here an example of extended interdural transposition for central skull base meningioma
