Sir Charles Ballance was a skilled neurosurgeon and contributed many ideas that were quite modern for their day. Ballance was the youngest of four brothers who were all physicians. He received his medical education at University College, London, served with the British Expeditionary Force during World War I, and returned to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital where he was consulting surgeon for many years. Ballance was one of the first neurosurgeons to perform a radical mastoidectomy with ligation of the jugular vein and one of the earliest to graft the facial nerve. In 1865, William Howship Dickinson, of Brighton, England, demonstrated that the proximal stump of a severed nerve eventually undergoes atrophy.
