[Neurosurgeon training: current problems and modern approaches].

Analysis of historical and modern approaches to teaching neurosurgery by professional communities and public authorities in the United States, the European Union and the Russian Federation makes it possible to develop a modern training program regarding content and duration. High-tech and dynamically developing specialty has acquired several large sub-specializations over the past decades. Each direction requires a long-term training and a special program.

Endogenous and Exogenous Factors Affecting the Surgical Technique (Review).

In this review, we analyzed essential factors affecting precise manual movements in microsurgery described in the medical literature. The search for publications in English and Russian languages was conducted in the PubMed database without limitation by the date of publication. The search was carried out according to the following descriptors: surgical procedures, dexterity, microsurgery, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, physical exercise, sleep deprivation, posture.

Biological features and long-term results of comprehensive treatment of brain tumors in infants.

Unlabelled: Complete removal is the treatment standard for most brain tumors. Outcomes of subsequent comprehensive treatment depend on biological features, the histological structure of the tumor, and radicality of surgery. The aim of this work was to study the morphological features of brain tumors in infants and to analyze long-term outcomes of surgical and comprehensive treatment.

Migrating choroid plexus papilloma of the lateral ventricle in infant--modern approaches to surgical treatment.

Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) are rare in adults and accounted for only 0.4-1% of all intracranial tumors and even though found in all age groups, it is first of all a pediatric tumor--in children of the first year of life they account for 12-14% of all brain tumors. The preferential localization of CPP--lateral ventricles of the brain.

Blood loss in surgery of brain tumors in infants.

Functional immaturity of all organs and systems result in a high risk of complications in surgery of brain tumors in infants. One of the most serious complications is a massive blood loss and developing on its background severe disorders of hemostasis. In modern series of observations perioperative mortality in these children varies from 13 to 33%.
