Training Cerebrovascular and Neuroendovascular Surgery Residents : A Systematic Literature Review and Recommendations

Background: The rapid evolution of neuroendovascular intervention has resulted in the inclusion of endovascular techniques as a core competency in neurosurgical residency training. Methods: We conducted a literature review of studies involving the training of neurosurgical residents in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery. We reviewed the evolution of cerebrovascular neurosurgery and the effects of these changes on residency, and we propose interventions to supplement contemporary training. Results: A total of 48 studies were included for full review. Studies evaluated trainee education and competency (29.2%, 14/48), neuroendovascular training models (20.8%, 10/48), and open cerebrovascular training models (52.1%, 25/48), with some overlap. We used a qualitative analysis of reviewed reports to generate a series of suggested training supplements to optimize cerebrovascular education. Conclusion: Cerebrovascular neurosurgery is at a crossroads where trainees must develop disparate skill sets with inverse trends in volume. Continued longitudinal exposure to both endovascular and open cerebrovascular surgical fields should be mandated in general resident education, and blended learning tactics using adjunct simulation systems and models should be incorporated with didactics to both optimize learning and alleviate restraints placed by decreased volume and autonomy.
