The history of neurosurgery in Texas is linked with the development over the past century of the Houston Methodist Hospital (HMH) from a 30-bed hospital in downtown Houston to an academic medical center with 900 beds in the Texas Medical Center. Neurosurgery at HMH has developed to meet the needs of the Houston Metropolitan Area, which has grown from 130,000 people in 1919 to 7 million people today. Neurosurgery at HMH has had steady growth and stable leadership with Dr. James Greenwood Jr. 1936-1980, Dr. Robert Grossman 1980-2013, and Dr. Gavin Britz 2013-present, as Chiefs of the Neurosurgical Service. HMH has been affiliated with 2 medical schools: Baylor College of Medicine 1950-2003 and Weill College of Medicine Cornell University 2004-present. Neurosurgical training began at HMH with the establishment of the Baylor College of Medicine Neurosurgery Residency Program with Dr. George Ehni as Program Director 1959-1979 and Dr. Robert Grossman as Program Director 1980-2006. Training has continued in the HMH residency program from 2006 to present with Dr. David Baskin as Program Director. As of 2019, 138 neurosurgical residents have been trained at HMH. The goals of delivering responsible patient care, advancing neurosurgical knowledge, and training the next generation of practitioners and teachers of neurosurgery have remained constant and have been met and remain the mission of the department.
德克萨斯州神经外科学的历史与休斯顿卫理公会医院（HMH）的发展息息相关，该医院在过去一个世纪从休斯顿市中心的一家 30 床位医院发展成为拥有 900 张床位的德克萨斯医学中心的学术医疗中心。HMH 的神经外科发展以满足休斯顿大都市区的需求为目标，该地区的人口从 1919 年的 13 万人增长到今天的 700 万人。HMH 的神经外科一直保持着稳定的发展和领导地位，小詹姆斯·格林伍德（James Greenwood Jr.）医生 1936 年至 1980 年、罗伯特·格罗斯曼（Robert Grossman）医生 1980 年至 2013 年、加文·布里茨（Gavin Britz）医生 2013 年至今担任神经外科服务主任。HMH 与 2 所医学院有合作关系：贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）1950 年至 2003 年和康奈尔大学威尔医学院（Weill College of Medicine Cornell University）2004 年至今。神经外科培训始于 HMH，与贝勒医学院神经外科住院医师培训计划一起成立，乔治·埃尼（George Ehni）医生担任项目主任 1959 年至 1979 年，罗伯特·格罗斯曼（Robert Grossman）医生担任项目主任 1980 年至 2006 年。自 2006 年以来，在 HMH 住院医师计划中继续进行培训，由大卫·巴斯金（David Baskin）医生担任项目主任。截至 2019 年，已有 138 名神经外科住院医师在 HMH 接受培训。提供负责任的患者护理、推进神经外科学知识以及培训下一代神经外科学从业者和教师的目标保持不变，并已得到满足，这仍然是该部门的使命。
