Fantastic trip to Seoul last month for the World Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.

Fantastic to be able to catch up with colleagues face to face and to be able to present my talk on 'MVD versus Radiosurgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia' at the meeting of the World Neurosurgical Federation for Cranial Nerve Disorders.

There is always so much to discuss and learn!
