Resumen

El Prof. Juan José Barcia-Goyanes inició la neurocirugía desde la anatomía y la neuropsiquiatría como respuesta a una necesidad de un servicio denominado: «Enfermedades nerviosas» en 1931 en el Hospital General de Valencia. Desde la primera intervención, con los métodos e instrumentos que ya se usaban en Europa y EE.UU., la actividad neuroquirúrgica fue el motor del servicio, donde nacieron las especialidades auxiliares: neurorradiología, neurofisiología, neuropatología y técnicas nuevas como la estereotaxia, la neurocirugía funcional y la palencefalografía. El servicio cumple este año su 80 aniversario. La producción bibliográfica del Prof. Barcia abarcó tanto las materias de neurología, neurocirugía y psiquiatría, como de antropología, pensamiento médico, historia de la medicina, morfología e historia del lenguaje anatómico en su obra de madurez: «Onomatologia anatomica nova», así como una interesante obra poética. Fue miembro fundador de la Sociedad Luso-española de Neurocirugía y de la Sociedad de Neurocirugía de Levante.

Abstract

Professor Juan José Barcia-Goyanes started neurosurgical practice from anatomy and neuropsychiatry in response to a vacancy at a department known as “Nervous diseases”, in 1931 at Hospital General in Valencia, Spain. Since the first intervention, based on the methods and surgical instruments already used in Europe and the U.S.A., the neurosurgical practice became the mainstay of the department, from which other auxiliary specialties emerged, such as neuroradiology, neurophysiology, neuropathology and also new techniques such as stereotactic surgery, functional neurosurgery and palencephalography. This year, the department celebrates its 80th anniversary. The broad spectrum of Prof. Barcia's scientific work included fields like neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry, as well as anthropology, medical thought, history of medicine, morphology and history of anatomical language in his work “Onomatologica anatomica nova”, in addition to an interesting poetic work. He was a founding member of the Luso-Spanish Neurosurgical Society and the Neurosurgical Society of Levante.
