Background Cadaveric dissection is the gold standard for surgical simulation because it
demonstrates authentic anatomy and tissue handling. We present a perfusion technique that …

Introduction Surgical simulation models are often limited by their lack of fidelity, which
hinders their essential purpose, making a better surgeon. Fresh cadaveric tissue is a …

OBJECT Intraoperative rupture occurs in approximately 9.2% of all cranial aneurysm
surgeries. This event is not merely a surgical complication, it is also a real surgical crisis that …

OBJECTIVE Microvascular anastomosis is a basic neurosurgical technique that should be
mastered in the laboratory. Human and bovine placentas have been proposed as …

Background: The literature lacks a combined analysis of neurosurgical microvascular
anastomosis training models. We performed a systematic literature search to provide an …

OBJECTIVE Microsurgical training remains indispensable to master cerebrovascular bypass
procedures, but simulation models for training that accurately replicate microanastomosis in …

Cerebrovascular anastomosis (for example in the management of Moyamoya disease or
complex aneurysms) is a rarely performed but essential procedure in neurosurgery …

BACKGROUND Novel methodologies providing realistic simulation of the neurosurgical
operating room environment are currently needed, particularly for highly subspecialized …

The landscape of graduate medical education has changed dramatically over the past
decade and the traditional apprenticeship model has undergone scrutiny and modifications …

OBJECTIVE Cerebrovascular bypass surgery is a challenging yet important neurosurgical
procedure that is performed to restore circulation in the treatment of carotid occlusive …
