Using placental models to train neurosurgeons for treating brain aneurysms

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on enhancing the training of neurosurgeons in microsurgical techniques for managing intracranial aneurysms. It utilizes placental tissue, considered surgical waste, to create a simulation model that better replicates the conditions of human anatomy compared to traditional animal models. The aim is to improve surgical skills and confidence in handling complex cases that may arise in clinical practice. The study will involve women over 18 who consent to the use of their placenta for educational purposes.

Why it matters
