Application of Cadaver Dissection to Neurosurgical Practice : Its Efficacy and Limitations(<SPECIAL ISSUE>Present and Future of Cadaver Dissection: Anatomical Practice as Operative Training (1))

Abstract

Cadaver dissection is used for the teaching of basic anatomy and for surgical simulations. We describe the processes from specimen preparation for cranial step by step dissection to 3D stereoscopic documentation, and discuss the efficacy and limitations of this educational method.
