AbstractIn our discipline, neurosurgery, the role of the leader has evolved and has been complemented by the collaboration of specific professionals of different disciplines, aiming at the overall result of curing people and defeating the disease. Indeed, the multidisciplinary cooperation and the innovative strength of a team composed of different specialists such as radiologists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, oncologists, psychologists, physiatrists, physiotherapists, neurologists, engineers, mathematics, statisticians, and economists, greatly has changed the way we see the patient and treat pathology: from a single to multiperspective vision, thus generating a synergy that improves the surgeon's and the overall work. An old African adage goes like this: "If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together," which in our opinion fully summarizes the sense of our contribution on the state of the art in neurosurgical contemporary practice.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
