Getting Ready for Brain Tumor Surgery

In training to become a neurosurgeon, many of the crucial manual skills that must be acquired can only be mastered through growing experience during the rigorous and lengthy training process. Yet, many - often essential - practical skills can quickly be learned, practiced, and even mastered, away from the OR.
Getting Ready for Brain Surgery provides the readers with a basic set of exercises that will allow him to develop and improve their motor skills, handling of various tissues, and general technical competence.

Topics include:

• Planning: visualization of the procedure


• The craniotomy - using a coconut


• Working with the microscope


• Removing a gyrus: subapial resection


• Removing a brain tumor using an artificial model


• Microsurgical training: the chicken wing model


Junior neurosurgical residents and interns will benefit greatly from this handy guide.
