Balancing the safety and education of pregnant neurosurgeons

Because there are unique circumstances that may impact the training, safety, and career trajectory of pregnant neurosurgeons, as well as risks inherent to the pregnant neurosurgical resident from occupational exposures and pregnancy physiology, the authors of this paper have come up with recommendations for both pregnant residents and their residency programs to mitigate these risks, focusing on the impact on their education as well as on their colleagues.
