Simulating Endonasal Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery on Animal Carcasses: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Proficiency in neuroendoscopic techniques is vital in modern neurosurgery, especially with the rising prominence of endoscopic endonasal procedures. Traditional training methods face challenges due to cadaver scarcity and cost-prohibitive simulators.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of using goat head carcasses for training in endoscopic pituitary surgery.
