Abstract
The efficiency of training systems for microsurgery has steadily become more important due to both the increasing need for medical oversight because of medico-legal considerations and the reduction in total number of surgeries being performed. Both Gamma-knife radiosurgery and intravascular intervention techniques have led to a reduction in indication for surgery. We have found that the use of opposite-side stereoscopic microscopes by the surgical assistant is a very useful training method. Younger trainee operators can gain surgical experience under the oversight of an experienced operator with very small risk for the patient. Opposite-side microscopes appear to provide an opportunity for the younger operator to gain experience in as efficiently as possible.
