Introducción: Las herramientas para el entrenamiento del neurocirujano en formación ha ido en aumento en la actualidad; con el impulso de la ciencia, nuevas tecnologías permiten el desarrollo de la parte experimental en este campo. Estudios informan sobre la mejora en el rendimiento del especialista mientras más tiempo cursa en el laboratorio. En nuestro país no existe actualmente un programa escolarizado para la simulación y experimentación en neurocirugía, por lo que este trabajo sería la primera piedra en la constitución de los mismo. Objetivos: el objetivo principal es determinar el impacto del uso de simulación para el entrenamiento en neurocirugía vascular mediante modelos de simulación y experimental; además de documentar el paso a paso para poder desarrollar investigación a partir de ello. Diseño: El estudio será de tipo intervencionista prospectivo. Y será llev...

Introduction: Head trauma is one of the main causes of death in Peru. Medical and surgical therapy during the initial stages of severe head trauma focus in preventing the elevation of intracranial pressure. Objective: To describe the associated characteristics and main complications in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study performed between February 2018 and July 2020 in patients who had been admitted because of head trauma and who had undergone unilateral decompressive craniectomy. Results: Two-thirds (66.7%) of patients were persons less than 40 years of age; 87.5% were males; 16.7% were admitted with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) scores between 13 and 15; 37.5% were admitted with GCS between 9 and 12; 42.9% had asymmetric pupils; 33.3% were admitted because of traffic accidents; 21.7% were Marshall II, 65.2% were Marshall III, a...
