Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Global Health
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Spine surgery in limited-resource environments faces challenges including high implant costs and lack of advanced technology.
  • Residents in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) experience inadequate training due to limited case exposure and faculty shortages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify challenges in spine surgery training and care within limited-resource settings.
  • To propose strategies for improving surgical education and patient outcomes in these regions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing challenges and proposed solutions.
  • Analysis of factors affecting surgical training, technology access, and research capacity in LMICs.

Main Results:

  • Incomplete training, restricted access to essential technologies (e.g., intraoperative neuromonitoring, robotics), and limited research output are significant issues.
  • International fellowships, telesurgery, global collaboration, cost-effective practices, and clinical guidelines can mediate these challenges.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing the gaps in spine surgery requires a multi-faceted approach including enhanced global collaboration and capacity building.
  • Implementing cost-effective strategies and fostering research are crucial for advancing spine care in LMICs.
