Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The use of social media has been drastic in the field of neurosurgery over the last two decades. Almost 70 % of neurosurgeons use social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and Instagram for purposes of professional growth. This literature review aims to quantify the use of social media in the field of neurosurgery, its benefits, and implications.
METHODS: A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar for articles pertaining tosocial media and neurosurgery.Mesh terms employed in the search strategy encompassed \"Social Media\", \"neurosurgery\", \"education\"\"benefits\", \"consequences\"and related variations.Inclusion criteria involved studiesvaryingin methodology, includingobservational studies, case reports and comprehensive reviewsand investigatingvarious aspects of benefits and limitations of social media for neurosurgeons, encompassing its importance in community building, professional development, contribution to research and publications, mentorship, cultural diversity and other pertinent benefits.
RESULTS: The search yielded635articles, with437unique articles screened based on relevance. Following a meticulous screening process,86articles underwent full-text assessment, resulting in the inclusion of22articles meeting the eligibility criteria.Insights were derived onthebenefits of social media,its current limitationsas well astrends and demographics surrounding social media use in neurosurgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In todays modernized world, social media acts as a double-edged sword when it comes to neurosurgery; it offers unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, education, patient engagement, and support while demanding careful use and navigation to mitigate the risks associated with it.

摘要：
背景：在过去的二十年中，社交媒体在神经外科领域的使用非常激烈。近70%的神经外科医生使用Facebook等社交媒体平台。X（以前的Twitter），YouTube,和Instagram用于专业发展。这篇文献综述旨在量化社交媒体在神经外科领域的使用，它的好处,和影响。
方法：通过搜索PubMed，科学直接，和谷歌学者关于社交媒体和神经外科的文章。搜索策略中使用的网格术语包括“社交媒体”，“神经外科”，\"教育\"\"福利\",“后果”和相关变体。纳入标准涉及研究方法，包括gobservational研究，病例报告和全面审查，并调查了社交媒体对神经外科医生的益处和局限性的各个方面，包括它在社区建设中的重要性，专业发展,对研究和出版物的贡献，导师,文化多样性和其他相关利益。
结果：搜索结果为635articles，根据相关性筛选了437篇独特的文章。经过细致的筛选，86篇文章进行了全文评估，结果纳入了符合资格标准的22篇文章。洞察力来自社交媒体的好处，它目前的局限性在于围绕神经外科使用社交媒体的趋势和人口统计。
结论：在当今现代化的世界中，社交媒体在神经外科方面是一把双刃剑；它提供了无与伦比的合作机会，教育,患者参与,和支持，同时要求谨慎使用和导航，以减轻与之相关的风险。
