Dear patients, families and colleagues,

I am retiring after 37 years of clinical and research activity in the field of functional neurosurgery. My last 14 years were spent in the framework of the SoniModul Center of Ultrasound Functional Neurosurgery, meeting and treating patients together with a great, efficient and dedicated team.

In spite of all our efforts, it has not been possible to find a solution for my succession. SoniModul will thus have to close end of January 2024. We regret very much not to be able to proceed helping patients, who came to us regularly and courageously, from near and far. A number of peer-reviewed publications allow colleagues to read about our experience and maybe develop further the work done.

Patients in close current interaction with us will be contacted.

I realize after all these years of neurosurgical activity how deep and constructive the contacts with patients and their families have been. I learned so much, not only about medicine but also about myself and what it all means to be a human being. I remain immensely happy about all good patient evolutions, and sad about the patients who could not be helped well enough. All in all, I leave the medical arena with a deep nostalgy, and much gratefulness to all persons I had the chance and privilege to meet along my medical path.

 Prof. em. Dr. med. Daniel Jeanmonod
