Dr. Jean Destandau was Assistant to the Hospitals in the Department of Neurosurgery of Professor Leman where he assured all Neuro-traumatology guards and the neurosurgical follow-up of the traumatic comas in the resuscitation department of Professor Erny. His interest in cranial trauma led him to set up two prospective studies, the first in collaboration with Professor Loiseau on the comitial risk of brain trauma, and the second in collaboration with the functional rehabilitation service of Professors Barat And Mazaux on the long-term development of severe cranial trauma and their social reintegration. He participated in a working group in Marseille (Professor Vigouroux) for the creation of a national data bank in neuro-traumatology. Since 1987 he has carried out a liberal neurochirugical activity. He is particularly interested in the surgical treatment of herniated disc and brain tumors with the same objective: to reduce surgical trauma. This led him to use very precise spatial identification techniques (stereotaxy, neuronavigation) and to develop an endoscopic surgical technique for lumbar disc herniation and other degenerative spinal disorders. Since 1993, He has operated on over 10000 patients with a rate of cure superior to 90% and a post-operatory period of convalescence greatly inferior to the normal. As a result, I have been invited to demonstrate this procedure in many countries including the United States, China, Egypt and Korea.
