The video follows Prof. Dr. Horia Pleș, a veteran Romanian neurosurgeon, through a typical workday at Regina Maria Hospital in Timișoara. After a brief morning hand‑over, the team reviews recent cases and proceeds to the operating theatre. The first operation is a lumbar disc herniation (L5‑S1) microdiscectomy, during which Dr. Pleș explains the anatomy of the disc, the rationale for removing as much nucleus pulposus as possible, the use of fluoroscopic guidance, neuromonitoring, and the importance of minimizing recurrence (≈3% in his centre). The second case is an insular low‑grade glioma. Dr. Pleș describes pre‑operative imaging, neuronavigation, awake cortical mapping, and intra‑operative neurophysiological monitoring to protect speech and corticospinal tracts, emphasizing a balance between maximal tumour removal and functional preservation. Throughout the day he reflects on the evolution of neurosurgery over his 44‑year career, the role of technology (ultrasonic aspirators, intra‑operative ultrasound, functional MRI), teaching responsibilities, and personal anecdotes such as a life‑threatening aneurysm clipping and a memorable paediatric case. He also shares advice for aspiring neurosurgeons, discusses work‑life balance (exercise, fatigue), and offers philosophical thoughts on the interplay between experience and a sense of something beyond the surgeon. The documentary ends with a recap of the day’s procedures and Dr. Pleș’s reflections on his profession.
