BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to understand the impact of SARS-COV-2 disease on neurosurgeons and our profession; specifically, to trace the role of women, in particular young neurosurgeons, in addressing this health emergency. METHODS: This cross-sectional study evaluated the impact of SARS-COV-2 disease on Italian neurosurgeons stratified by gender (44 [49.9%] males and 49 [52.1%] females) enrolled through a questionnaire-based online survey. RESULTS: Ninety-three Italian neurosurgeons were included in this study. The percentage of female participants was 52.1% (49) and 53% (50) were younger than 40 years. Men were significantly more affected than women by complications (14 versus 3), while there was no gender difference in the COVID-19 infection rate. Furthermore, the social impact of the pandemic was the same between men and women. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis did not show significant differences between the two genders in the susceptibility, and mortality from COVID-19. The possible and immediate implementation of anti-COVID-19 measures and devices, associated with a lower risk of transmission in the treatment of neurosurgical pathologies, has likely, moderated and disregarded the socio-psychological "gender gap" of the Covid-19 pandemic.
