In 2009, the IBTA published a booklet about The First Documented, Modern-Day Brain Tumour Surgery for a Glioma, detailing the landmark operation which took place in London, UK on 25th November 1884. The booklet commemorates the 125th anniversary of this event
Performed by Dr Rickman John Godlee on a young man named John Mitchell, the IBTA booklet contains previously unpublished material about the case. In 2009 only a limited number of booklets commemorating this historic event were printed and distributed. The IBTA is delighted to now make this booklet freely available online via issuu.com here. It can be downloaded directly by clicking here.
