Aim: To develop 'Cadaveric Course' of operative surgery for severe combined trauma for students, surgical residents, postgraduate students of medical universities and to compare its effectiveness with other approaches.
Material And Methods: 'Cadaveric course' program of operative surgery for severe combined trauma consisted of four stages. The first stage is theoretical course (2 weeks), the second stage - students' work in cadaveric operating theatre with instructors (5 weeks), the third stage - their independent work in 'cadaveric operating theatre (10 weeks), the fourth stage - analysis of the results and their comparison with those of 5 2-year residents (control group).
Results: There were significant differences in practical skills between students. Mean time of surgery and expert assessment score were 32.0±9.5 min and 4.6±0.5 in the main group, respectively, in the control group - 46.0±7.5 min and 3.6±0.5 scores, respectively (p=0.03 and p=0.02). Theoretical background was similar in both groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Research has opened new opportunities to introduce 'cadaveric course' into educational process, to analyze its outcomes and further improvement.

Introduction: While cadaveric dissections remain the cornerstone of education in skull base surgery, they are associated with high costs, difficulty acquiring specimens, and a lack of pathology in anatomical samples. This study evaluated the impact of a hand-crafted three-dimensional (3D)-printed head model and virtual reality (VR) in enhancing skull base surgery training.
Research Question: How effective are 3D-printed models and VR in enhancing training in skull base surgery?
Materials And Methods: A two-day skull base training course was conducted with 12 neurosurgical trainees and 11 faculty members.

Objectives: We have previously shown that ultrasound-guided repair results in an accurate anchor placement and restores ankle joint stability using cadaveric models. The objective is to assess the safety and clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided ATFL repair with or without augmentation.
Methods: Forty-nine patients with chronic lateral ankle instability underwent ultrasound-guided ATFL repair with or without augmentation.

The plantaris tendon may be absent in some individuals, indicating its unclear function. Anatomically, the plantaris tendon originates from the lateral femoral condyle and has a variable course and insertion point at the calcaneal tuberosity. The plantaris tendon may influence conditions such as Achilles tendinopathy, particularly in its midportion, whether by its close relation to the calcaneal tendon or adhesions between both tendons.

This study aims to determine the level of origin, branching pattern and exits of the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves in relation to the psoas major muscle. Additionally, this study confirms the presence and retroperitoneal courses of the double nerves. We dissected a total of 24 iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves (6 male and 6 female cadavers).

Background: The occipital artery (OA) is an important donor artery for intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery, but its path is tortuous, making it difficult to harvest. Part of the traditional intermuscular OA is not covered by muscle and is easily damaged during surgery. Currently, there are few reports on how to protect this segment of the OA.
