Science in neurosurgery: the importance of the scientific method

R H Wilkins. Neurosurgery. 1998 Apr.

Abstract

The scientific method offers a way for a neurosurgeon to assess objectively his or her professional activities, especially in regard to the results of treatment. For this reason, all neurosurgical trainees should be instructed in at least the basic tenets of the scientific method, and all neurosurgeons should be guided by these tenets in their daily practice.
