Welcome to
WSSFN 2025 Interim Meeting
Functional and stereotactic neurosurgery has undoubtedly been one of the disciplines with the greatest evolution in recent decades. This has been due to technological innovations, greater and deeper knowledge of the pathophysiology of the nervous system, advances in functional imaging and, of course, the effort, energy and tireless work of the WSSFN since its creation in 1961 until today.
This is why for us, the Latin American community of functional neurosurgery, gathered in the Latin American Society of Functional Neurosurgery and Stereotaxy (SLANFE), it is a true honor, challenge and commitment to have been distinguished as hosts, for the first time in history, of an international event of the WSSFN.
We invite you to discover Buenos Aires, a vibrant city full of contrasts, where history, art and culture merge with the passion of its people; its warmth, humor and hospitality transform each visit into an unforgettable experience.
Whether it is for its architecture, its streets, its neighborhoods, its traditional cafes, its music, its gastronomy, its parks, its theaters, its bookstores, its football, Buenos Aires has something for everyone.
Welcome to the WSSFN2005 Interim Meeting in Buenos Aires!
