Dr. Harvey Cushing is considered the father of modern neurological surgery, and his role and efforts in World War I continue to have a lasting effect on today's practice of neurosurgery. During World War I, he embodied the tenets of a neurosurgeon-scientist: he created and implemented novel antiseptic techniques to decrease infection rates after craniotomies, leading him often to be referred to as "originator of brain wound care." His contributions did not come without struggles, however. He faced criticism for numerous military censorship violations, and he developed a severe peripheral neuropathy during the war. However, he continued to stress the importance of patient care and his surgical prowess was evident. In this paper, the authors summarize Cushing's notes published in From a Surgeon's Journal, 1915-1918 and discuss the impact of his experiences on his own practice and the field of neurosurgery.
哈维·库欣医生被认为是现代神经外科之父，他在第一次世界大战中的角色和努力至今仍对当今的神经外科实践产生着深远影响。在第一次世界大战期间，他体现了神经外科医生 - 科学家的原则：他创造并实施了新的防腐技术以降低开颅术后的感染率，这使他常被称为“脑伤护理的开创者”。然而，他的贡献并非一帆风顺。他因多次违反军事审查规定而受到批评，并且在战争期间患上了严重的周围神经病变。然而，他继续强调患者护理的重要性，他的手术技艺也十分卓越。在本文中，作者总结了库欣发表于《外科医生日记，1915 - 1918》中的笔记，并讨论了他的经历对其自身实践以及神经外科领域的影响。
