Microsurgical neuroanatomy
Training in microsurgical neuroanatomy is a priority for neurosurgical education. During the 20th century, microsurgical training laboratory arose and provided a way to develop surgical skills. Few reports addressed the assembly, construction, and details of a training laboratory.
Goiri et al. conducted a literature review and searched legislation on the need to plan the structure of the laboratory. They projected and built a laboratory through a public-private partnership. High-tech workstations and instruments were planned to meet the needs of residents, fellows, and student. All steps and materials were in accordance with the Brazilian legislation and articles previously selected. They described the experience and demonstrated the implementation of a micro neurosurgical skills laboratory. 1).
