Adult Procedures
Neurosurgical simulation facilitated via use of ROWENA can encompass a wide range of adult procedures due to its multifaceted and physiologicallyaccurate reproduction of the human head. This includes / can include: upper cranium with scalp, bone and dural layers, a fully conformed brain with standard sized or enlarged ventricles, tumours and falx plus sinus module with mucosa and pituitary tumour and much more.
A selection of simulated procedures are outlined below:
- Transsphenoidal approach
- Positioning head in a 3-point headrest
- Twist drill hole & ICP bolt placement
- Completing bone flaps using a Gigli saw & guide, craniotomy or high speed drills
- Securing and opening the dura; dural suturing and closure & skin stapling
- Practising bone flap fixation techniques inc sutures, plates, screws & meshes
- Scalp incisions & turning flaps including use of Raney clips
- Drilling burr holes using a Hudson brace + different burrs & perforators
- Use of a Craniotome or high speed drill with realistic feedback
- Fully Ultrasound compatible, can be used for training
- CT & MRI compatible, easily used with neuro-navigation systems
