Latex vascular injection as method for enhanced neurosurgical training and skills.

Background: Tridimensional medical knowledge of human anatomy is a key step in the undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, especially in surgical fields. Training simulation before real surgical procedures is necessary to develop clinical competences and to minimize surgical complications.

Methods: Latex injection of vascular system in brain and in head-neck segment is made after washing out of the vascular system and fixation of the specimen before and after latex injection.

[Analysis of production, impact, and collaboration networks in scientific research in Scopus for Peru from 2000 to 2019].

Introduction: Peru is a developing country with increasing scientific production. However, it is necessary to understand the trends, impact, and collaborative networks of research to plan for policy improvements.

Objective: We analyzed the production, impact, and collaboration networks in the Peruvian scientific production between 2000 and 2019.

Modified Pure Endoscopic Approach to Pineal Region: Proof of Concept of Efficient and Inexpensive Surgical Model Based on Laboratory Dissections.

Objective: In recent decades endoscopic techniques have been increasingly used in neurosurgery as they may offer a valuable close-up view of the working area through a minimally invasive surgical corridor. Herein, we present an inexpensive and efficient endoscopic surgical model using a borescope, which was used for a "modified pure endoscopic approach" to the pineal region.

Methods: A borescope video camera was connected to a 16-inch personal computer monitor.
