“…At least 21 months must be obtained in one programme. Prior to accepting a candidate into the certification process, the Board requires a statement from the individual's Programme Director to the effect that he or she has met the minimum training requirements, performed in a satisfactory manner, and is well prepared to enter into the independent practice of neurosurgery (7,14,27,28,30).…”

AIm: In this paper we discuss the Neurosurgical Training Programme (NTP) in some European countries. mAteRIAl and methods:Although there is no official data on how many neurosurgeons are certified in Europe, our calculation shows that this number is somewhat lower than in the United States of America and even 3 times lower than in Japan (per 100.000 population). It is also evident that there is no consensus in the Programme duration or in the official NTP content, despite the recommendations of the EANS (The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies). Trainees from outside the European Union (EU) are under-represented in the EANS training courses. We believe that in the eastern part of Europe there is the most space for improvement in neurosurgical training. Solving of all these problems requires first and foremost their recognition and consideration -then devising a solution. ConClusIon:The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast several NTP's in Europe in order to promote a more coherent medical education. Some remarks and suggestions from the perspective of young neurosurgeons are given.KeywoRds: Neurosurgical training, EANS, Resident, Trainee, Education, Training programme ÖZ AmAÇ: Bu çalışmada, bazı Avrupa ülkelerinde uygulanan Nöroşirurji Eğitim Programlarını (NEP) tartışmaktayız. yÖntem ve GeReÇleR: Avrupa'da çalışmakta olan kaç nöroşirurji uzmanı olduğuna dair resmi bir rakam bulunmamakla birlikte, hesaplarımız bu sayının Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nden az olduğunu ve Japonya'dan ise 3 kat daha az olduğunu göstermektedir (100.000 nüfus başına). Aynı zamanda NEP resmi süresi ve içeriği konusunda da EANS (Avrupa Nöroşirürji Dernekleri Birliği) önerilerine rağmen bir uzlaşma bulunmadığı aşikârdır. Avrupa Birliği dışındaki ülkelerin katılımcıları EANS eğitim kurslarında daha az temsil edilmektedir. Nöroşirurji eğitimindeki ilerlemelerde, doğu Avrupa'da daha büyük bir boşluk bulunduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Tüm bu problemlerin çözümünün, öncelikle bu problemlerin tanınması ve dikkate alınması; ardından da çözüm yollarının üretilmesi ile mümkün olacağı kanaatindeyiz.tARtIŞmA: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Avrupa'daki bazı NEP'lerin farklılıklarının karşılaştırılması ve daha bütünleşik bir tıp eğitiminin önünün açılmasına katkıda bulunmaktır. Genç nöroşirürjiyenlerin perspektifinden bazı tespitlere ve önerilere de yer verilmektedir.

Summary: Endovascular treatment has been established as first line therapy for the treatment of cerebral aneurysm in the United States and Europe, and currently, cases of cerebral aneurysm are more commonly treated by neurosurgeons rather than radiologists. Considering the current practices in the treatment of cerebral aneurysm, it is important for a neurosurgeon to master the techniques of both, neuroendovascular surgery and direct surgery; such surgeons are called "Hybrid Neurosurgeons".However, it is a matter of concern whether a single surgeon can master both these techniques. We report the role of a Hybrid Neurosurgeon and the key factors crucial for their training.
