How Good is Neurosurgical Training? Validation of a Perfused Microsurgical Aneurysm Training Simulator Using a Modified Objective Structured Assessment of Aneurysm Clipping Skills Score and Indocyanine Green Angiography
MATS is a validated, cost-effective, and reproducible tool that significantly enhances neurosurgical training by improving technical skills, especially in inexperienced participants. While the simulator effectively mimics key aspects of aneurysm surgery, further research is needed to assess its predictive validity and its potential impact on actual surgical outcomes.
