- | **Conclusions: | + | |
- | The [[curriculum]] offers a seamless, stage-wise skill acquisition pathway: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Phase 1:** Si‑ and silicon vessels on 1–2 mm tubes + UpSurgeOn 3D models. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Phase 2:** Perfused human placenta for vessel dissection, microanastomosis, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Phase 3:** Hyper-realistic 3D skull craniotomies, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Phase 4:** VR/MxR anatomy via Augmedit. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Phase 5:** Advanced cadaver work—cadaver craniotomies + placenta perfusion for aneurysm clipping training : | + | |
- | + | ||
- | All stages reported to build muscle memory, surgical confidence, and reduce risk in clinical settings. | + | |

- | - **Novelty: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Final Verdict: | + | |
- | A well-designed practical training framework, but limited by its purely descriptive nature and absence of validated outcome assessments. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Score:** **6/10** – solid educational design, pending data-driven validation. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Takeaway for Practicing Neurosurgeons: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Consider implementing a staged simulator curriculum using [[silicon tube]]s, perfused placenta models, 3D skulls, VR/MxR, and cadaver work to build microsurgical skills gradually. However, institution of objective assessment tools is recommended for tracking competence and outcomes. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Bottom Line: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Zurich’s multimodal simulator curriculum is a promising and ethically robust approach to [[microneurosurgical training]], but demonstration of measured skill improvement and OR transfer is needed to confirm efficacy. | + | |
