Sir Hugh Cairns, the first Nuffield Professor of Surgery in Oxford and consultant neurosurgeon to the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War II, was a leader in helping to establish neurosurgery as a speciality in Britain. After learning the craft from Dr Harvey Cushing in Boston, Cairns fought against the general surgical orthodoxy in London to establish the first specialised neurosurgical unit in a teaching hospital. We review his early life, training with Cushing, his inspiring character and administrative prowess which not only helped to win the battle for neurosurgery in London but also helped to establish the Oxford Clinical School and to save thousands of lives during the Second World War.
休·凯恩斯爵士是牛津大学首任纳菲尔德外科学教授，二战期间担任皇家陆军医疗队神经外科顾问，是推动神经外科在英国成为一门专科的领军人物。凯恩斯在波士顿师从哈维·库欣医生学习这门技艺后，在伦敦与普通外科正统观念作斗争，在一家教学医院建立了首个专门的神经外科病房。我们回顾他的早年生活、与库欣的学习经历、他鼓舞人心的性格和管理才能，这些不仅助力他在伦敦赢得了神经外科之战，还帮助建立了牛津临床学院，并在二战期间挽救了数千人的生命。
