“…To understand the barriers and facilitators of research and education in African neurosurgery, the Young African Neurosurgeons Committee and the Young Neurosurgeons Forum of the WFNS (YNF-WFNS) surveyed residents, fellows, and consultants who are within 10 years of completing residency (9,10). In this paper, we aimed to assess the needs and challenges faced by young African neurosurgeons and residents in their daily clinical and research activities.…”

“…Another consideration is technicality and resource availability. Cisternostomy is a complex microsurgical procedure, and few LMIC neurosurgeons have the experience and equipment to perform cisternostomy safely [ 32 , 33 , 44 , 45 ]. The expansion of cisternostomy in LMICs will require capacity building and increased access to microscopes in the form of fellowships and the development of low-cost microscopes [ 38 43 ].…”

“…The low academic output is primarily due to a workforce shortage, and for the few neurosurgeons available, the patient workload is an impediment to research (2)(3)(4). Other barriers include a lack of exposure, lack of protected research time, limited access to articles, and lack of mentorship (5,6). For example, more than 60% of aspiring African neurosurgeons do not have a mentor and have never presented an abstract at a conference, participated in a journal club, or contributed to a manuscript (7).…”

“…For example, the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies' Global Neurosurgery Committee has set-up a mentorship program and funding mechanisms (8). to promote research in low-and middle-income countries, no study, to our knowledge, has described a formal capacity-building initiative aiming to increase academic global neurosurgery exposure among aspiring neurosurgeons (5,6).…”
