Before the advent of neurosurgery as a discipline, various historic surgeons performed procedures on the skull and brain. One early pioneer of surgery, Peter Lowe (c. 1550-1612), not only wrote of methods of cranial surgery in his Chirurgerie, which was the first comprehensive text of surgery written in English, but also founded what would become the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons. Included in the powers given to him by King James VI was the authority to regulate the practices of medicine, surgery, and pharmacy in the west of Scotland. This 16th century Scottish surgeon trained in Paris, where he was influenced by Ambroise Paré and wrote about the "Spanish sickness." In his surgical text, Lowe wrote about his methods of multiple neurosurgical procedures. The present study discusses the life of Maister Peter Lowe and reviews his contributions to what became the art of neurosurgery.
在神经外科学作为一门学科出现之前，许多历史悠久的外科医生已经在颅骨和大脑上进行了手术。彼得·洛（Peter Lowe，约 1550-1612 年）是外科手术的早期先驱之一，他不仅在其英文外科巨著《外科学》（Chirurgerie）中描述了颅骨手术方法，而且还创立了后来的皇家医师外科学院。国王詹姆士六世赋予他的权力包括有权规范苏格兰西部的医学、外科学和药学实践。这位在巴黎接受培训的 16 世纪苏格兰外科医生曾受到安布鲁瓦兹·帕雷（Ambroise Paré）的影响，并撰写了关于“西班牙病”的文章。在他的外科手术文本中，洛写到了他进行多种神经外科手术的方法。本研究讨论了彼得·洛大师的生平，并回顾了他对神经外科学艺术的贡献。
