    AbstractThe University of Lausanne was founded in 1537. The faculty of medicine was created in 1890, and the service of surgery was directed by César Roux. Roux, a well-known surgeon, was visited by Harvey Cushing during 1900-1901. In the early 1930s, Jean Rossier from Lausanne trained with Cushing, but Rossier passed away in 1942. Eric Zander created the division of neurosurgery in 1959; it became an independent service in 1967. Nicolas de Tribolet served as chairman from 1984 until 1994, when he was asked to take charge of the merger of the university services of Geneva and Lausanne. In October 1997, Jean-Guy Villemure joined him in the newly merged department, becoming chairman in Lausanne, while de Tribolet is chairman in Geneva and head of the department comprising both services.
