OBJECTIVE Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) represents 17% of the world’s land, 14% population, and 1% gross domestic product. Previous reports have indicated that 81/500 African neurosurgeons (16.2%) worked in SSA—i.e., 1 neurosurgeon per 6 million inhabitants. Over past decades, efforts been made to improve neurosurgery availability SSA. In this study, authors provide an update by means polling who trained North went back practice METHODS Neurosurgeons had full training at World Federation...
Strengthening health systems requires attention to workforce, training needs, and barriers service delivery. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Young Neurosurgeons Committee survey sought identify challenges for residents, fellows, consultants within 10 years training.An online was distributed various neurosurgical societies, personal contacts, social media platforms (April-November 2018). Responses were grouped by Bank income classification into high-income countries (HICs),...
Background: Worldwide, neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years lost and second death. Despite global health capacity-building efforts, each year, 22.6 million individuals worldwide require neurosurgeon's care due to diseases such as traumatic brain injury hydrocephalus, 13.8 these surgery. It is clear that neurosurgical indispensable in both national international public discussions. This study highlights role neurosurgeons can play supporting agenda,...
International collaborations between high-income (HICs) and low- middle-income countries (LMICs) have been developed as an attempt to reduce the inequalities in surgical care around world. In this paper authors review different models for international education describe projects by Division of Neurosurgery at University Toronto field.The conducted a reported literature last 15 years. Previous publications on global neurosurgery were reviewed exemplify applications challenges...
Introduction: Africa has many untreated neurosurgical cases due to limited access safe, affordable, and timely care. In this study, we surveyed young African neurosurgeons trainees identify challenges training practice. Methods: residents were online by the Young Neurosurgeons Forum from April 25th November 30th, 2018. The survey link was distributed via social media platforms through professional society mailing lists. Univariate bivariate data analyses run a P -value < 0.05...
Despite the globalization of health information, collaborations between high-income countries (HICs) and low/middle-income (LMICs), while present, could still increase. This study builds on previous research highlighting LMIC underrepresentation in neurosurgery literature. We conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using Scopus database to investigate collaborative neurosurgical HIC institutions those low-income country (LIC)/LMICs. Articles published 2018 2020 were examined....
Providing a comprehensive and effective neurosurgical service requires adequate numbers of well-trained, resourced, motivated neurosurgeons. The survey aims to better understand 1) the demographics young neurosurgeons worldwide; 2) challenges in training resources that they face; 3) perceived barriers; 4) needs for development.This was cross-sectional study which widely disseminated online (April 2018-November 2019) used procure nonprobabilistic sample from current trainees those within 10...
The number of women in the medical field has increased Africa over last few decades, yet underrepresentation within neurosurgery been a recurrent theme. Of all surgical disciplines, is among least equitable, and rate increase female surgeons lags behind other disciplines such as general surgery. This historical review provides an overview history their current status on African continent. To authors’ knowledge, this first article to provide overview.
Because nearly 23,000 more neurosurgeons are needed globally to address 5 million essential neurosurgical cases that go untreated each year, there is an increasing interest in task-shifting and task-sharing (TS/S), delegating tasks nonspecialists, particularly low- middle-income countries (LMICs). This global survey aimed provide a cross-sectional understanding of the prevalence structure current TS/S practices LMICs.
Low-income and-middle-income countries (LMICs) are increasing investment in research and development, yet there remains a paucity of neurotrauma published by those LMICs. The aim this study was to understand neurosurgeons' experiences of, aspirations for, ability conduct disseminate clinical LMICs.This two-stage inductive qualitative situated within the naturalistic paradigm. This committed an interpretivist way knowing (epistemology), considered reality subjective multiple (ontology). Data...
Abstract The importance of social media has seen a dramatic increase in recent times, but much about its influence academia is still unknown. To date, no comparative studies analysing the effect promotion on citation counts have been undertaken neurosurgical publishing. We randomized 177 articles published Acta Neurochirurgica from May to September 2020. 89 intervention group received standardized through one post our official Twitter/X account, whereas 88 control did not receive any...
Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke have devastating consequences are major global public health issues. For patients that require a cerebral decompression after suffering TBI or stroke, decompressive craniectomy (DC) is the most commonly performed operation. However, retrospective non-randomized studies suggest craniotomy (DCO; also known as hinge floating craniotomy), where bone flap replaced but not rigidly fixed, has comparable outcomes to DC. The primary aim of...
