Training on a 3D-Printed Simulation Model Improves Accuracy in External Ventricular Drain Placement
A standardized training protocol using a 3D-printed model significantly improves the accuracy and confidence of neurosurgeons in EVD placement. Regular training is recommended to maintain high clinical performance, emphasizing the need for standardized procedures and the use of neuronavigation for complex cases.
