Neurosurgical task shifting and sharing (TS/S), delegating clinical care to non-neurosurgeons, is ongoing in many hospital systems which neurosurgeons are scarce. Although TS/S can increase access treatment, it remains highly controversial. This survey investigated perceptions of neurosurgical elucidate whether a permissible temporary solution the global workforce deficit.

Pediatric spinal tumors include a variety of developmental lesions and uncommon neoplasms that differ significantly from those seen in adults. These conditions are underreported the sub-Saharan medical literature. We present case 10-year-old girl brought by her family to University Teaching Hospital Kinshasa Democratic Republic Congo with progressive lower limb functional impairment. On admission, patient was alert, normal vital signs, pink palpebral conjunctiva, anicteric sclerae,...
Background and objectives Spinal tumors can cause slow radiculomedullary compression often lead to severe neurological dysfunction for the patient. The objective of this study was describe clinical characteristics, histopathological profile, postoperative outcomes tumor-related compressions. Methods This a prospective cohort conducted from January 2020 June 2024 concerning cases spinal responsible compressive syndrome at Department Neurosurgery, University Teaching Hospital Kinshasa....
Type II odontoid fracture, classified by Anderson and D'Alonzo, is the most common traumatic injury to process. Surgical management of this lesion particularly challenging in underresourced countries. This study aims report preliminary experience Kinshasa University Teaching Hospital Kinshasa, Democratic Republic Congo, using adaptive techniques. Three patients, aged 22, 30, 32 years, respectively, were admitted neurosurgery department with D'Alonzo type fractures as confirmed CT scan...
Background. Thoracolumbar fractures are among the most common and unstable traumatic injuries to spine. They require a rigid fixation. However, there controversies in choice of fixation types. This study aimed compare long-segment posterior (LSPF) bridging injured vertebra short-segment with screws fractured (SSFFV). Methods. was an analytical 22 patients admitted Kinshasa University Teaching Hospital from 2020 2023 thoraco-lumbar fractures. Variables interest included: sex, age, occupation,...
Background Radiculomedullary lesions represent a significant public health issue, with their epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics varying depending on whether they are of traumatic or non-traumatic origin. The aim this study was to compare therapeutic, postoperative aspects between radiculomedullary (TRML) (NTRML). Methods This prospective cohort conducted from 2020 2023 involving patients suffering operated at the Department Neurosurgery, University Teaching Hospital...
