“…It has been reported in multiple studies that female faculty are underrepresented compared to their male counterparts in different surgical specialties [ 16 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ] Female faculty reportedly have overall lower H-indexes compared to male faculty in academic surgery [ 23 , 25 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. However, when stratified by academic rank, previous studies showed different results of gender disparities of H-index at each academic rank.…”

Women started to enter the specialty of colon and rectal surgery in the early 1970s. However, it was rare for a woman to hold a leadership position in the specialty before 2000. Since then, considerable progress has been made, although the percentage of women leaders does not yet approach the percentage of women in the field. This article focuses on the history of women in leadership positions in the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons Research Foundation, and the Association of Program Directors in Colon and Rectal Surgery as well the Diseases of the Colon and Rectum and academic departments. Early women leaders shared some common attributes that have contributed to their success. This article reviews some barriers to increasing the number of women in leadership positions; most will be reviewed in other sections in this issue.

“…Grounded in health equity, GN aims to overcome the impact of sociohistorical phenomena that have generated disparities between people who can access essential neurosurgical care, and those who cannot [1,2]. The public health community is currently experiencing an intensifying call to "decolonize" global health (GH) as the COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with a contemporaneous public health crisis of systemic racism [3][4][5][6][7][8]. This moment of global reckoning has reintroduced into public health and increasingly, popular culture, a vocabulary of social justice formerly limited to the social sciences, e.g., structural racism, structural violence, anti-racism, etc [9][10][11][12].…”

The movement to decolonize global health challenges clinicians and researchers of sub-disciplines, like global neurosurgery, to redefine their field. As an era of racial reckoning recentres the colonial roots of modern health disparities, reviewing the historical determinants of these disparities can constructively inform decolonization. This article presents a review and analysis of the historical determinants of neurosurgical inequities as understood by a group of scholars who share Sub-Saharan African descent. Vignettes profiling the colonial histories of Cape Verde, Rwanda, Cameroon, Ghana, Brazil, and Haiti illustrate the role of the colonial legacy in the currently unmet need for neurosurgical care in each of these nations. Following this review, a bibliographic lexical analysis of relevant terms then introduces a discussion of converging historical themes, and practical suggestions for transforming global neurosurgery through the decolonial humanism promulgated by anti-racist practices and the dialogic frameworks of conscientization.
