Surgical Education using Cadaver Dissection for Modern Practical Skull Base Surgical Techniques

Abstract

  We have outlined the modern cadaver surgical training to facilitate safe complex and advanced skull base surgeries. The normal formalin-fixed cadaver head was useful for learning detailed skull base anatomy and histological research by removing the brain. Our fixation method, with the addition of phenol, ethanol, and methanol, was suitable for surgical simulation. To utilize the dissection performed by doctors for the development of surgical skills, it is essential to create an organization within the university.
