The field of neurosurgery faces challenges with the increasing involvement other medical specialties in areas traditionally led by neurosurgeons. This paper examines implications this development for neurosurgical practice and patient care, a focus on specialized like pain management, peripheral nerve surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery. To assess expanded scope to consider response EANS Frontiers Neurosurgery Committee these challenges. Analysis recent trends neurosurgery, including shift various procedures specialties, demographic challenges, emergence minimally invasive techniques. analysis draws relevant literature initiatives Committee. We explore possible decrease certain areas, which may have care access interventions. Committee's role addressing concerns is highlighted, particularly terms training, education, research, networking neurosurgeons, especially those early their careers. potential warrants attention. emphasizes importance carefully considered responses societies, such as EANS, ensure neurosurgeons continue play vital managing neurological diseases.
