3D printed training model with sensorized arachnoid for endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: development and initial validation
Background: Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is a relatively novel technique with a long learning curve: it is used to resect tumors that grow in the sella, which is located at the center of the skull base, immediately below the optic tiny gum squares nerves and brain that are wrapped by the arachnoid, containing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).One
