From the United States of America I have taken my mentor, Dr Zulma Tovar-Spinoza for whom I have decided on the path of pediatric neurosurgery, I was four weeks in his service and they were enough to want to follow in his footsteps.
From Germany it could be said that my neurosurgical lineage comes from there, my teacher and head of service Dr Hector Velazquez was a direct ward of Professor Axel Perneczky, father of the minimal invasion, principles with which I was formed.
From Cuba we have had a close collaboration where I was able to participate in the first awake brain surgery that was carried out on the island. It is a cultural and professional exchange, which left me learning that is not read in the books.
From Argentina we have had collaboration with Dr Alvaro Campero in some conferences and workshops of skull base.
