Background:

Neurosurgery residency training structures vary globally.
The Greek neurosurgical training system presents unique characteristics.
Variations can impact clinical reasoning, surgical skills, and professionalism.

Purpose of the Study:

To delineate the current state of neurosurgery residency training in Greece.
To outline future directions for improving neurosurgical education in Greece.

Main Methods:

A narrative review was performed.
The Greek neurosurgical residency training structure was described.
Author perspectives on challenges and future directions were synthesized.

Main Results:

The manuscript details the neurosurgery residency curriculum and board certification in Greece.
Existing training programs and key challenges were identified.
Future directions for reforming neurosurgical training were proposed.

Conclusions:

Neurosurgery residency training in Greece has remained largely static.
Modifications to the training process are suggested to improve quality.
Reforms aim to equip neurosurgeons for the evolving field.
