Learning to measure surgical force with a training model
This study tests a new way to measure how much force surgeons apply during a specific brain surgery technique, using a calf brain model and special sensors. It's designed to help train neurosurgeons and improve surgical safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student, neurosurgical resident, or neurosurgeon at McGill University
- You are right-handed
- You are willing to participate in a hands-on training session with a brain tissue model and measurement equipment
