Abstract
Our training system for neurosurgeons specializing in cerebrovascular surgery is introduced in the paper. Our institute provides training programs for young neurosurgeons on cerebral aneurysm surgery and entracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery. In the program for aneurysm surgery, preoperative and postoperative discussion is very essential, because aspects of surgery are just knowledge at first and then become skills. In the program for EC-IC bypass, trainees are introduced to our technical training program on a step-by-step basis. These programs, being provided as packages, can introduce young neurosurgeons to a master-and-apprentice relationship. With mastering the programs, trainees can obtain surgical skills as well as enough knowledge and theory, which are necessary for the vascular neurosurgeon. I think the goal of the program may be to enrich the life of each trainee as a neurosurgeon including their private life.
