Abstract

Neuroendoscopy can be learnt by assisting or doing live human surgery, cadaver dissection with or without augmented pulsatile vessel and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) perfusion, and practicing on live animal, dead animal model, synthetic models, three-dimensional printing model with or without augmentation with animal, cadaver tissue, pulsatile vessel and reconstructed CSF model, virtual reality (VR) simulator, and hybrid simulators (combined physical model and VR model). Neurosurgery skill laboratory with basic and advanced learning should be there in all teaching hospitals. Skills can be transferred from simulation model or VR to cadaver to live surgery. Staged learning (first with simple model to learn basic endoscopic technique, then animal model, and then augmented cadavers) is the preferred method of learning. Although most surveys favor live surgery and practice on animal models and cadavers as the most preferred training model now, in future VR may also become a favored method of learning. This article is based on our experience in over 10,000 neuroendoscopic surgeries, and feedback from over 950 neuroendoscopic fellows or consultants who attended workshops conducted every 6 monthly since 2010. A literature search was done on PubMed and Google Scholar using (neuroendoscopy) AND (learning), and (neuroendoscopy) AND (training), which resulted in 121 and 213 results, respectively. Out of them, 77 articles were finally selected for this article. Most of the training programs typically focus on microneurosurgical training. There is lack of learning facilities for neuroendoscopy in most centers. Learning of neuroendoscopy differs greatly from microneurosurgery; switching from microneurosurgery to neuroendoscopy can be challenging. Postgraduate training centers should have well-equipped neuroendoscopy skill laboratory and the surgical educational curriculum should include neuroendoscopy training. Learning endoscopy is about taking advantages of the technique and overcoming the limitations of endoscopy by continuous training.
