Advancing Neurosurgical Skills: A Comparative Study of Training Models for Intra-Extracranial Cerebral Bypass.

Background: Training in anastomosis is fundamental in neurosurgery due to the precision and dexterity required. Biological models, although realistic, present limitations such as availability, ethical concerns, and the risk of biological contamination. Synthetic models, on the other hand, offer durability and standardized conditions, although they sometimes lack anatomical realism.
