Microsurgery
-
Neurosurgeons need fine and special microsurgical techniques, such as the ability to suture deep microvasculature. Intensive training is required to perform microsurgery, especially in deep microvascular anastomosis. ⋯ Here, we report a new training method using a mannequin head, water balloons, and clay to mimic actual deep microsurgery in the brain. This method allows trainees to experience microsurgery under various hand positions to approach the affected areas located at various depths in the brain from various angles.
