Contemporary learning utilizing physical simulators, which represent advanced, life-like training technology can lead to improvements in psychomotor skills of neurosurgeons who perform essential cranial approaches. Through hands-on learning, direct teaching and guidance by luminary neurosurgical faculty, course participants will be able to gain experience and knowledge regarding pterional cranial access approaches.
This 30-minute session offers participants the chance to apply the pterional approach on hyper-realistic surgical simulations featuring tissue bleeding, intricate layers, and life-like physics.
Each participant will be assigned a 30-minute time block between 1 and 4:30 pm. Additionally, each participant will receive access to an operative case video from Neurosurgical Atlas and a comprehensive guide to the pterional approach by UpSurgeon.
