We are deeply saddened by the news of Professor Yasargil’s passing.  His legacy lives on and we are truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from him. M. Gazi Yasargil remains in history as one of the greatest neurosurgeons of all time.
Our deepest condolences to Dianne, his family, friends, colleagues and all who were touched by his life and work.  Rest in peace, Professor.
