Neurosurgery was introduced as a separate surgical branch in Surgical Clinic in Belgrade in 1923. On October 31st, 1938 Milivoje Kostic formed the first neurosurgical department within Surgical Clinic in Belgrade, the first of its kind in the region. However, Professor Kostic performed his first neurosurgical surgeries since 1914. He performed mostly peripheral nerve surgeries and surgeries of extradural lesions. Nowadays, this period has been considered the era of heroic neurosurgery.
