The surgery proposed for the treatment had never been performed in Portugal, having been suggested by the patient himself, derived from the research he carried out on his own condition, and was sucessfully carried out at Hospital de Santa Maria, through a surgical cooperation between the surgical specialties of Urology and Neurosurgery, namely, by Dr. Ricardo Pereira e Silva and by Dr. Alexandre Rainha Campos.
