The name of neurosurgeon András Csókay became internationally known when he developed the so-called vascular tunnel technique for the treatment of severe traumatic brain swelling. In addition, a number of other new groundbreaking surgical procedures can be linked to him. In recent years, his name has often been heard outside of professional circles: in 2020, he and his team successfully separated the Bangladeshi Siamese twins Rabeya and Rukaya. András Csókay is not only known for his outstanding surgical achievements, however: he lectures all over the country and has already written several books: he always speaks openly and honestly about being Hungarian, about medicine, his deep faith, and his doubts as well as struggles. In a short portrait film from our publisher, the Friends of Hungary Foundation, he says: “When you have a tough question you must always look up.” This has helped him in many difficult situations during his career.
