Cavernous sinus tumor model in the canine: a simulation model for cavernous sinus tumor surgery.

摘要: OBJECTIVE: The recent limitations of working hours for neurosurgical trainees carry the risk decreasing amount microsurgical experience. In absence enough surgical exposure to some pathological states, an alternative option a more continuous source tactile and visual experience that simulates real-life state is needed. To help with this problem, we established cavernous sinus tumor model in canine. METHODS: A gliosarcoma cell line was harvested from nude mice implanted six mongrel dogs. first group (two dogs), dural leaflets sinus. (Immunosuppression used one dog.) second (four region gasserian ganglion. all four dogs.) condition each dog followed through neurological examinations serial magnetic resonance imaging. later explored, after which dogs were killed histopathological evaluations carried out. RESULTS: initial within showed no evidence growth. grew had clinical radiological features as well dissection these tumors simulated humans. CONCLUSION: We This state, it can be advance skills.
