ABSTRACT
Aim: In a period by physician duty-hour constraints, there has been growing indication that simulation delivers high-quality, time-effective training. Simulation could also allow students to learn critical skills in a safe setting, which is vital in a specialty like neurosurgery, when technical mistake may have disastrous repercussions. The researchers conducted a comprehensive study of usage of simulation in neurosurgical training and investigated state of art in imitation in the current profession. To the best of the current experience, it is the main methodical review published on the current issue.
Methods: The data on the sample group, research design and setting, result measures, major results, and constraints were all examined by researchers.
Results: This critical search was founded on twenty-eight papers. A variety of simulator, counting these for ventriculostomy, neuroendoscopic operations, and spinal surgery, are available to neurosurgeons, providing indications of enhanced performance in the wide range of operations. Participants’ responses have been overwhelmingly positive. The included studies’ mean Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument score remained 8.22 2.96 (SD) out of the potential score of 19.
Conclusion: The writer explains the qualitative helps of the variety of neurosurgical simulations, but also discover severe shortcomings in technique and design. Future research must strive to enhance research methodology and presentation, as well as offer long-period follow-up information on simulated and, preferably, actual results.
