Psychosurgery

125
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Summary

Neurosurgical equipment donation to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is needed, but current programs may not meet recipient needs. Collaborative partnerships and sustainable solutions are essential for improving neurosurgical care in LMICs.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Equipment Management

Background:

  • Neurosurgical equipment donation from high-income countries (HICs) to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is common.
  • Existing literature lacks data on the need for such donations and effective program design for LMIC neurosurgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the need for neurosurgical equipment donation from the UK and Ireland to LMICs in Africa.
  • To identify optimal strategies for designing donation programs that align with the requirements of LMIC neurosurgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured, one-on-one interviews.
  • Purposive sampling of neurosurgeons from Ireland, the UK, and African LMICs until data saturation.
  • Thematic analysis using open and axial coding.

Main Results:

  • Five overarching themes emerged: inequality of access, specific equipment needs, organizational roles, LMIC-HIC partnerships, and the insufficiency of donations alone.
  • Five HIC and three LMIC neurosurgeons participated in the study.

Conclusions:

  • A significant need for enhanced neurosurgical equipment access in LMICs exists.
  • Donations alone are insufficient; sustainable, non-dependency-linked solutions require exploration.
  • Collaborative partnerships within organizational frameworks are crucial for effective, needs-based neurosurgical equipment donation.
