Adsona-Bucy Access

The Adson-Buyssy access is a surgical approach named after two famous neurosurgeons: Allen William Adson and Paul Charles Buyssy. This approach is used to access the brain through the temporal region.

Allen William Adson (1887–1951) was an American neurosurgeon who made significant contributions to the development of neurosurgery. He was one of the first surgeons to use microsurgery to treat brain tumors. Adson also developed a method for removing tumors, which was called the “Adson method.”

Paul Charles Buyssy (1904–1984) was also an American neurosurgeon. He worked in the field of neurosurgery since the 1930s and was known for his work treating brain tumors and brain injuries. Bucy also invented a method for removing brain tumors that bears his name.

The Adson-Bucy approach is one of the most common methods of accessing the brain, which is used in neurosurgery to remove tumors and other diseases. This approach is made through the temporal bone, allowing the surgeon to access the brain without having to make a large incision in the head.

Benefits of Adson Busy Access include:

– Minimizing damage to soft tissue and scalp;
– Reducing the risk of complications associated with infection;
– Possibility of performing the operation under local anesthesia;
– Faster recovery after surgery.

However, like any other surgical method, the Adson-Bucy approach has its disadvantages, including:

– Risk of damage to the facial nerve or other important structures;
– The need to use special tools and equipment;



Adson-Busey: author of the first use of LSD in the treatment of depression

Limericks are short, funny poems that have been known for centuries. They are described in the form of stories about extraordinary, easily remembered events and characters. One of these limericks describes the American psychiatrist Adson Busey. His unusual approach to treating patients can be seen among the significant discoveries in the field of addiction and psychoanalysis, which gave impetus to many new studies and experiments in medical practice.

The first psychiatric study was the effect of the drug LSD, called the American
