Pterional Craniotomy

モバイルデバイス用の最初のリアルタイム3D脳神経外科シミュレータ。

AppSurgeOn - Pterional Craniotomy is the very first real-time-3D neurosurgical simulation for mobile devices. It gives the possibility to experience the most used neurosurgical approach: the pterional craniotomy. The UpSurgeOn Team, made by neurosurgeons and digital artists, uses the most updated 3D technology to reproduce an impactful experience of surgical training.

WHAT IS IT

AppSurgeOn - Pterional Craniotomy is a 4-steps simulation of a real Pterional Craniotomy on a virtual patient. Learning this approach is universally considered an essential step for every neurosurgery trainee.

NEUROSURGERY: FROM THE OPERATING ROOM TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE

AppSurgeOn - Pterional Craniotomy is the first neurosurgical simulator for mobile devices. Each single model and step reproduces a real neurosurgical experience and a real step-by-step decision making for a pterional craniotomy on a patient with an intracranial disease with impressive accuracy.

This free App is an extract of AppSurgeOn - Neurosurgical Simulator Vol I, II, III, that will be released very soon.

HOW WE BUILT IT

The UpSurgeOn Team is made by neurosurgeons that are engaged with clinical practice every day. The contents of the simulation were produced through a novel process of “scientific 3D modelling”, created by UpSurgeOn. It consists of a systematic 3D reproduction of real surgical scenes and real neuroanatomy derived from the direct experience and validated through a constant literature review and a daily intraoperative comparison.

Features
