A recent study conducted by the Department of Neurosurgery aimed to investigate the effectiveness of intensive training with neurosurgical simulators in improving manual dexterity and surgical performance. The study involved 72 residents who were randomized into a simulation group and a control group. The simulation group demonstrated superior performance in brain tumor removal compared to the control group, indicating that a brief and intensive training regimen utilizing 3D virtual reality simulators can enhance residents' microsurgical proficiency. The study suggests that simulators can be a valuable tool in expediting the learning curve of in-training neurosurgeons. [Extracted from the article]
