Due to limited data for German neurosurgeons, we aimed to assess the attitudes of German women neurosurgeons toward continuing surgical work during pregnancy and lactation to provide appropriate recommendations.We conducted an online SurveyMonkey survey among all female members of the German Society for Neurosurgery (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie) and the Professional Association of German Neurosurgeons (Berufsverband Deutsche Neurochirurgie).Of 286 invited women neurosurgeons, 122 responded (42.6%), with 65 (53.3%) having children or being currently pregnant with their first child. The majority (98.5%) desired to continue surgery during pregnancy, yet 80% expressed concerns about announcing their pregnancy due to potential job-related disadvantages.

Despite permission to operate, procedural volumes decrease significantly, compounded by surgery-free periods during lactation and parental leave, and reported discrimination upon return.

In 2022, a cervical, minimally invasive stabilization system became available for the complete percutaneous insertion of both cervical pedicle screws and rods.

There were 20 males and 22 females. The mean age was 43.6 ± 10.89 years. The mean follow-up was 20.85 ± 8.49 months. Definite union was seen in 48 levels (92.3%) by observer 1 and in 40 levels (76.9%) by observer 2. The strength of agreement was moderate. The presence of VEC was observed in 9 levels (17.3%) by observer 1 and in 12 levels (23.1%) by observer 2. The strength of agreement was moderate. The majority of VECs in the endplates were less than 5 mm. The strength of agreement was high. The strength of agreement for location and multiplicity were moderate. The VEC was significantly correlated with the fusion status.Our study confirmed that VECs were observed following Ti cage placement after PLIF procedures. They tend to be small and might be associated with nonunion. Furthermore, it reflected the limited inter-rater reliability of the assessment of both the fusion status and VEC morphology after Ti PLIF cage placement.</p>","PeriodicalId":16544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurological surgery.
