摘      要：Simulation plays a pivotal role in neurosurgical training by allowing trainees to develop the requisite expertise to enhance patient *** models have been used for simulation ***-living animal models offer a range of benefits,including affordability,availability,biological texture,and a comparable similarity to human *** this paper,we review the available literature on the use of non-living animals in neurosurgical simulation *** aim to answer the following questions:(1)what animals have been used so far,(2)what neurosurgical approaches have been simulated,(3)what were the trainee tasks,and(4)what was the experience of the authors with these models.A search of the PubMed Medline database was performed to identify studies that examined the use of non-living animals in cranial neurosurgical simulation between 1990 and *** initial search yielded a total of 70 *** careful screening,we included 22 articles for qualitative *** compared the reports in terms of the(1)animal used,(2)type of surgery,and(3)trainee *** articles were published between 2003 and *** simulations were performed on three types of animals,namely sheep,cow,and *** authors designed specific,task-oriented approaches and concluded that the models used were adequate for replicating the surgical *** on non-living animal heads has recently gained popularity in the field of neurosurgical ***-living animal models are an increasingly attractive option for cranial neurosurgical simulation *** models enable the acquisition and refinement of surgical skills,with the added benefits of accessibility and *** date,16 different microneurosurgical cranial approaches have been replicated on three non-living animal models,including sheep,cows,and *** review summarizes the experience reported with the use of non-living animal models as alternative laboratory tools for cranial neurosurgi
