OBJECTIVE It is unknown whether efforts to expand access neurosurgery worldwide have translated an increase in the global workforce, particularly low- and middle-income countries. The main objective of this study was quantify number distribution consultant neurosurgeons worldwide, while also identifying temporal geographic trends workforce different income levels WHO regions, analyzing what factors might contribute growth a national workforce. METHODS This subanalysis electronic...
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),...
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. The was distributed convenience sample individuals providing care. A digital link through electronic mailing lists...
Neurosurgery is evolving with new techniques and technologies, relies heavily on high-quality education training. Social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram LinkedIn have become integral to this These platforms enable sharing of surgical experiences, fostering global knowledge-sharing collaboration among neurosurgeons. Virtual conferences courses are accessible, enhancing learning regardless location. While these offer real-time communication collaborative opportunities, they also...
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...
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...
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...
The application of stem cell transplants in clinical practice has increased frequency recent years. Many the neurologic diseases, including stroke, Parkinson disease, spinal cord injury, and demyelinating are unproven-they have not been tested prospective, controlled trials become accepted therapies. Stem transplant procedures currently being carried out therapeutic aims, but frequently experimental unregulated, could potentially put patients at risk. In some cases, undergoing such...
Background Laboratory dissections are essential to acquire practical skills perform neurosurgical procedures. Despite being traditionally done on cadavers, they often unavailable and suffer from cultural barriers in the African context. Non-cadaveric UpSurgeOn neurosurgery models have been developed bridge this barrier, providing an almost similar experience with human body. This study aimed assess impact of hands-on-touch non-cadaver model training amongst selected Cameroon medical...
OBJECTIVE A sustainable neurosurgery workforce depends on robust training pipelines, but the size and distribution of global trainee has not been described. The objective this study was to identify types programs that exist in workforce, support trainees receive, diversity experiences, accreditation processes regulate programs. METHODS This a subanalysis cross-sectional survey administered online all 193 countries 26 territories, independent states, disputed regions as defined by World Bank...
Quality education is key in addressing the skilled neurological workforce gap Africa. However, many medics are scared of sciences because challenges faced medical schools studying neurosciences. Understanding its state and educational crucial for fostering interest neurosurgery related specialities on continent. What current state, challenges, solutions to improve neuroanatomy Cameroon, Africa miniature? A cross-sectional study using an 11-item electronic survey was conducted among students...
Abstract Traumatic spinal injury (TSI) is a devastating neurological condition that imposes substantial economic burden on victims, families, and healthcare systems. While the prevalence patterns of TSI can vary, its landscape in Cameroon remains underexplored. We performed cross-sectional study to determine sociodemographic, prehospital, clinical at two major referral hospitals Southwest Region (SWR) Cameroon; Buea Limbe Regional Hospitals, from 2017 2021. Descriptive statistics were used...
