Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, SDG 9, and SDG 10 play a crucial role in the advancement of innovative strategies to ensure access to essential neurosurgical care, reduce global disparities in treatment outcomes, mitigate postoperative complications, and provide life-saving interventions. This scoping review provides fundamental evidence for multidisciplinary teams involved in designing noninvasive innovations to minimize the risks associated with post-DC complications. It is anticipated that more cost-effective models, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, can be implemented based on the findings of this review.
