Introduction: Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique utilized for lumbar decompression, which has recently gained popularity in Europe. We aimed to explore the value of sequential adaptive e-learning, followed by simulator-based hands-on training modules for UBE at the occasion of the 2024 EANS Young Neurosurgeons meeting.
Materials And Methods: An adaptive e-learning was designed by learning engineers (Area 9 Lyceum), based on theoretical content provided by two endoscopic spine surgeons.

Article Synopsis
- Only a few studies have focused on long-term outcomes for patients with lumbosacral spine synovial cysts, and their findings are often inconsistent.
- A retrospective study was conducted on 94 patients treated surgically for these cysts, with a follow-up period averaging around 25 months.
- The results showed significant pain relief and lower disability scores post-surgery, with a low rate of complications, suggesting that a specific surgical method (interlaminectomy) is both effective and safe.
Article Synopsis
- Imposter syndrome (IS) is a common psychological issue affecting many professionals, particularly in competitive fields like neurosurgery, where a European survey found 94% of young neurosurgeons show symptoms of IS.
- The survey involved 232 participants and assessed demographics, IS levels using the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Survey (CIPS), and possible compensatory behaviors.
- Results indicated that IS was linked to experience level and sex, with male neurosurgeons being less likely to experience intense IS, while reading more than five articles weekly increased the risk, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to support affected individuals.
Background: Neurosurgery is one of the most complex and challenging areas of medicine, and it requires an ongoing commitment to education and expertise. Preparing young neurosurgeons with comprehensive education that can allow them to achieve high professional standards is a pivotal aspect of our profession.
Methods: This paper aims to analyze the current scenario in neurosurgical training identifying innovative methods that can guarantee the highest level of proficiency in our specialty.
