AbstractMilitary neurosurgery has played a crucial role in the development of neurosurgery over time. Much of this progress is due to war-related experiences. Owing to the number and severity of war injuries and the limitations caused by war, surgeons have had to examine different methods and design special protocols for patient management. Given that in recent decades most wars have taken place in the Middle East, many lessons can be learned by reviewing the experiences of neurosurgeons in these wars. Wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Yemen have been the largest and longest conflicts in the Middle East since the beginning of the 21st century, and a number of studies reported the experiences of surgeons in these wars. In this study, we reviewed the experience of military surgeons in managing war neurosurgical injuries in these areas within the last 2 decades.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
