This paper explores the significant contributions of Evandro Pinto da Luz de Oliveira to the field of international neurosurgery. Through his dynamic leadership and global representation, de Oliveira has performed countless surgeries, many of which have been documented in instructional videos. His mastery of microsurgical techniques has been shared worldwide through his educational courses, further solidifying his influence in the neurosurgical community. Moreover, de Oliveira's notable scientific publications have left a lasting impact on the field. He founded a Microsurgical School, which has dedicated and enthusiastic members worldwide. This article focuses on a less tangible yet profoundly influential aspect of de Oliveira's legacy: his mindset. By examining de Oliveira's approach to neurosurgery, this paper aims to shed light on the intellectual and philosophical underpinnings that
have driven his remarkable career and contributions to medical education and surgical practice.
