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.

Here, we report a case of atypical postoperative recurrence of an acute epidural hematoma, possibly due to the development and rupture of a TMMA. A 41-year-old man with left acute epidural hematoma after a head injury was referred to our hospital. Emergency craniotomy was performed immediately, and the hematoma was removed. The source of the bleeding was near the fracture site in the middle cranial fossa, and sufficient hemostasis was confirmed. However, a head computed tomography (CT) scan the next day revealed a recurrence of the acute epidural hematoma. Magnetic resonance (MR) angiogram showed an aneurysm with a diameter of approximately 4 mm in the left middle meningeal artery. The recurrence of the acute epidural hematoma appeared to be related to the formation and a rupture of a middle meningeal artery aneurysm, and to prevent subsequent rebleeding, the patient underwent reoperation, and the hematoma and aneurysm were removed. In surgery for acute epidural hematoma, recurrence can be prevented by removing the hematoma and ensuring hemostasis. Although conventional surgery was performed in this case, a repeat of epidural hematoma occurred. A postoperative middle meningeal artery aneurysm had been thought to have developed, ruptured, and caused a repeat epidural hematoma.

A systematic literature review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review utilized the PICO format: Does HT following strip craniectomy (SC) improve outcomes (outcome) compared to SC alone (comparison) in patients undergoing craniosynostosis correction (intervention)? Searches were performed from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2022, using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Ovid Medline databases. Study quality was evaluated using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) quality assessment scale. Fourteen studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. Among these, 438 patients underwent SC-HT, while 104 patients underwent SC without HT. The preoperative cephalic indices for sagittal craniosynostosis in the HT and non-HT groups were 66.8 and 67.8, respectively, which improved postoperatively to 75 and 76.2, respectively. Limited long-term follow-up hindered a definitive assessment of reoperation rates. Complication rates related to HT were low at approximately 2.9%, primarily consisting of skin irritation. Parental satisfaction was high, correlating with a strong compliance rate. Existing literature does not demonstrate a clear superiority between SC with or without HT for treating nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis. Outcomes appear comparable, but evidence is constrained by the predominance of single-center retrospective studies with limited methodological rigor.
