Neurosurgery started in Oxford in 1938. In this article, we commence the story of Oxford neurosurgery with Thomas Willis and trace the historical thread through William Osler, Charles Sherrington, John Fulton, and Harvey Cushing to Hugh Cairns. The department in Oxford is renowned for the training of neurosurgeons. The initial stimulus for this was the abundance of neurosurgical and neurological expertise in Oxford during World War II with Cairns, and this tradition continued with Joe Pennybacker and his successors. The large and ever increasing work load ensures trainees a wide exposure to challenging neurosurgical problems. An increasing emphasis placed on research has resulted in the creation of two posts; each consists of half-time clinical neurosurgery and half-time research. Hugh Cairns organized the department along "Cushing lines." This organization still exists, allowing us to treat a large number of patients with relatively few beds and an average length of patient stay less than 6 days. We look to the future with confidence.
神经外科始于1938年的牛津。在本文中，我们从托马斯·威利斯开始讲述牛津神经外科的故事，并追溯其历史脉络，经过威廉·奥斯勒、查尔斯·谢灵顿、约翰·富尔顿、哈维·库欣，直至休·凯恩斯。牛津的神经外科部门以培训神经外科医生而闻名。其最初的推动力是二战期间牛津有凯恩斯这样丰富的神经外科和神经学专业知识，这一传统在乔·彭尼贝克及其继任者那里得以延续。大量且不断增加的工作量确保了实习生能广泛接触具有挑战性的神经外科问题。对研究的日益重视催生了两个职位；每个职位由一半时间的临床神经外科工作和一半时间的研究工作组成。休·凯恩斯按照“库欣模式”组建了该部门。这种组织架构至今仍然存在，使我们能用相对较少的床位治疗大量患者，患者平均住院时间不到6天。我们满怀信心地展望未来。
