The course is aimed at the ST3 trainees selected through
Neurosurgery National Selection Process and is part of ST3 Curriculum
The approaches covered are:
Cranial: Bifrontal, Pterional (Trauma flap), Parasagittal, Occipital cradiotomies and posterior fossa approach.

Aims of the Simulation Camp:

We use mannequins/actors for positioning simulation.
b) Lectures on Regional Anatomy for these approaches.
c) Simulating Operative experience on cadavers
Neuro-navigation for cranial approaches and image intensifiers for spinal approaches will be used to create near real life experience.
