Neurosurgical Review
|May 2, 2023
Summary
Simulation training for intracranial aneurysm clipping is challenging due to diverse methods lacking realistic simulation. Future research needs to develop validated, cost-effective platforms for surgical skill maintenance and patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Simulation
- Surgical Education
Background:
- Surgical skills for intracranial aneurysm clipping are difficult to maintain due to increasing complexity and decreasing operative exposure.
- Simulation training offers a potential solution for skill acquisition and maintenance in neurosurgery.
Conclusions:
- Current simulation methods are heterogeneous and do not fully replicate the microsurgical workflow.
- There is a need for reusable, cost-effective, and validated simulation platforms.
- Standardized assessment tools are required to validate simulation's role in surgical education and patient safety.
