Francesco Durante was born in Sicily, precisely Letojanni Gallodoro. He contributed to the history of neurosurgery in not only Italy but the whole world. In June 1884, he removed a left frontal meningioma, describing a personal technique of craniotomy with a discontinuous osteotangential section flap. It was the first such operation to be performed in any country after which the patient had a long survival. The important and pioneering contribution made by Durante to the history of neurosurgery is testified by his Treaty on Pathology and Surgical Therapy. Durante's procedure for craniotomy remained the best for several years. His contributions are still valid in medicine today, within not only the neurosurgical community but also other surgical disciplines, because he also developed innovative practices in the fields of oncology, general surgery, and orthopedics in addition to designing special surgical instruments.
弗朗切斯科·杜兰特出生于西西里岛,确切地说是莱托贾尼的加洛尔多罗。他不仅为意大利,也为全世界的神经外科学发展做出了贡献。1884 年 6 月,他切除了一个左侧额部脑膜瘤,描述了一种带有不连续骨切线瓣的开颅术个人技术。这是在任何国家进行的首例此类手术后患者长期存活的手术。杜兰特对神经外科学史的重要和开创性贡献,在他的《病理学和外科学治疗论》一书中得到了证明。杜兰特的开颅术方法在几年内仍然是最好的。他的贡献在今天的医学中仍然有效,不仅在神经外科学界,而且在其他外科领域,因为他还在肿瘤学、普通外科和骨科领域开发了创新实践,此外还设计了特殊的手术器械。
