Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Simulation
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of cranial sutures, necessitates surgical intervention to alleviate intracranial pressure and reshape the skull.
  • Acquiring proficiency in complex neurosurgical procedures for craniosynostosis demands extensive supervised training.
  • Existing neurosurgical training simulators aim to accelerate the learning process for these intricate operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel simulator designed for endoscopic treatment of scaphocephaly and trigonocephaly.
  • To provide a comprehensive training tool covering all procedural aspects, from patient positioning to osteotomies.
  • To enhance the acquisition of essential surgical skills and familiarity with instrument handling in a laboratory setting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel endoscopic surgical simulator.
  • Simulation of scaphocephaly and trigonocephaly correction procedures.
  • Inclusion of all surgical steps: patient positioning, instrument handling, and osteotomies.

Main Results:

  • The simulator covers the complete endoscopic treatment pathway for scaphocephaly and trigonocephaly.
  • It facilitates practice in patient positioning, instrument manipulation, and osteotomy performance.
  • Laboratory training with this simulator is fundamental for skill development.

Conclusions:

  • The presented simulator offers a valuable resource for neurosurgical trainees focusing on endoscopic craniosynostosis repair.
  • It addresses the need for accessible and effective training methods to master complex surgical techniques.
  • This tool can contribute to reducing the learning curve associated with endoscopic scaphocephaly and trigonocephaly surgery.
