History

Dear Esteemed Members,

It is with deep honor and gratitude that I accept the role of President of TANS. Together, we constitute an extraordinary community of neurosurgeons committed to advancing our field in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

I am immensely proud of the meticulous hard work of our past office-bearers, which has led to the remarkable growth of neurosurgery in our region. As President, I am dedicated to continuing this legacy for the seamless dissemination of knowledge.

I urge all of you to actively participate in our activities, workshops, and CME programs. Let us leverage TANS as a platform for our progress, working together to forge new avenues for learning and collaboration. Together, we have the power to shape the future of neurosurgery in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I welcome you all to the Tamil Nadu Association of Neurological Surgeon’s [TANS] 6th annual event, TANS 2025. In this event, we celebrate not only our collective achievements in the field of neurosurgery but also the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and excellence that defines our society.

This year July 2024, our focus for Educational course is on the White Fibre Dissection Workshop, a crucial aspect of neurosurgery that demands precision and expertise. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed Course Directors, Dr. Abidha Shah and Dr. Gireesh Menon, for their invaluable contribution in organizing this workshop. Their dedication and commitment to advancing neurosurgical education are commendable.

Throughout this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to engage in mock clinical examinations, witness demonstrations of neurosurgical techniques and cutting-edge technology, and benefit from lectures designed to enhance effective neurosurgical practice. In an ever-evolving field like neurosurgery, continuous learning and skill enhancement are paramount. The White Fibre Dissection Workshop provides a platform for us to deepen our understanding, refine our techniques, and foster collaboration among peers.

TANS Conference during April 2025, promises to be a remarkable one, featuring a lineup of distinguished speakers, cutting-edge research presentations, and engaging discussions. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Organizing team at Tiruchirappalli, Department of Neurosurgery and Anatomy at KAPV Government Medical College and Trichy Neuro Association for their tireless efforts in organizing this conference.

Under the exemplary leadership of Organizing Chairman, Dr. Ramakrishna Easwaran, and the meticulous coordination of the Organizing Secretary, Dr. Jos Jasper, and TANS EC Coordinator Dr SP Tiruppathy, TANS 2025 will flourish as a hub for intellectual exchange and professional development in the field of Neurosurgery.

I encourage all participants to take full advantage of the diverse sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities available throughout the conference. Let us engage in fruitful discussions, share our insights and experiences, and forge new collaborations that will propel our field forward.

On Behalf of TANS, I extend my best wishes for a successful and enriching conference. May TANS 2025 inspire us all to strive for excellence and make meaningful contributions to the field of neurosurgery.

Thank you all for your support, and I eagerly anticipate working with each and every one of you.

Warm Regards,

TANS has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception and continues to surge forward, thanks to all your energetic and enthusiastic efforts.

It is our request that all Neurosurgeons and personnel involved in Neurosurgical care in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry become members of our TANS, and help each other strive towards excellence in neurosurgery.
