The current simulation technology used for neurosurgical training leaves much to be desired. Significant efforts are thoroughly exhausted in hopes of developing simulations that translate to give learners the “real-life” feel. Though a respectable goal, this may not be necessary as the application for simulation in neurosurgical training may be most useful in early learners. The ultimate uniformly agreeable endpoint of improved outcome and patient safety drives these investments. We explore the development, availability, educational taskforces, cost burdens and the simulation advancements in neurosurgical training. The technologies can be directed at achieving early resident milestones placed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. We discuss various aspects of neurosurgery disciplines with specific technologic advances of simulation software. An overview of the scholarly landscape of the recent publications in the realm of medical simulation and virtual reality pertaining to neurologic surgery is provided. We analyze concurrent concept overlap between PubMed headings and provide a graphical overview of the associations between these terms.

“…For decades, training has taken place with the aid of software simulators. The origin of training simulators can be traced back to centuries before they were implemented by means of IT, such as in military training [39] and surgery [40]. Furthermore, training simulators for air traffic control have a long history [41] (see also [42], as cited in [43]).…”

Software systems evolve with societal, business and technological changes. Because of these changes, socio-technical systems need to adapt to new situations that were unknown at the time of design. Good knowledge of software system evolution can help with that adaption. Although the evolution of software systems has been broadly debated, little research has been conducted on the specific genre of software systems and even less empirical research has been performed on the evolution of interactive software. We propose a three-factor framework which consists of identifying the changes during the evolution of training simulators, the drivers for those changes and how the changes effect innovation and robustness of the training simulators. In reviewing the literature on training simulators, we argue for this framework. The contribution of this paper is a framework that can be used to carry out empirical studies on the evolution of training simulators. Interaction ScienceSoftware systems evolve with societal, business and technological changes. Software technologies are said to evolve in a Darwinian manner by co-evolving with human culture [1]. Societal changes, including the migration of people and workers, poverty, health and education, can influence how software systems evolve. Business operations and their marketplace can be drivers of the evolution of software systems. Furthermore, innovations in technologies for building software systems influence their evolution. Because of these changes, today's sociotechnical systems need to adapt to new situations that were unknown at the time of design [2]; good knowledge of interactive software system evolution can help with that adaptation. Sociotechnical systems cover hardware, software, personal and community aspects [3] and when we refer to interactive software systems in this paper, we are not limiting the discussion to the software and its users. An example of a sociotechnical system is a training simulator for managing the response to large scale accidents such as those involving aircraft or trains. It concerns the hardware used, the software developed, the trainers and trainees using the system, and the community surrounding the professions and stakeholders. The development of such training simulators is costly. Training simulators can be long-lived up to several decades and thus undergo various changes in the course of use. Examples of these are changes because of improved work processes that are discovered during training exercises or real response, or demand for higher fidelity as trainees, for example firefighters training to extinguish fires.Researchers have debated whether there exist such things as revolutionary products, or inventions, or if all are evolutionary [4, p.86], created in small steps visible only to the designer but invisible to the consumer [5, p.2]. Vicente [6] distinguished between revolutionary design and evolutionary design problems. Whereas in the former, the constraints decided on in past versions can change, in the latter, the constraints...

“…A prática com cada um destes métodos apresenta vantagens e desvantagens que estão sendo elucidadas em processos de validação. A escolha do modelo de treinamento mais apropriado deve levar em conta, entre outras qualidades, a eficácia, validade, custoefetividade e versatilidade [17][18][19][20][21].…”

Quatro condições devem ser priorizadas em um currículo com simuladores cirúrgicos para maximizar sua utilidade: participação obrigatória, treinamento baseado em proficiência, agenda para simulação e treinamento intenso [1,6,9,[20][21][22][23].…”

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: In this article, the authors address the historical evolution of surgical simulation, focusing on its application in Neurosurgery. METHODS: Literature search was done in the PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases, using the terms "history AND simulation"; and "simulation AND neurosurgery". There was no limit for the publication date. RESULTS: We selected 30 articles whose contents included data of interest for the objective of the study. Simulation has been used for centuries in a variety of ways, including the dissection of corpses by the early physicians (such as Galeno) and military training (for example in war games). Anatomical models were created in the eighteenth century and continued to improve in the following centuries. Virtual reality simulation was first used in 1987 and became popular in the early 1990s. Subsequently, synthetic anatomical models were created that reproduce surgical scenarios close to the real one, with great applicability today. CONCLUSIONS: This literature review highlighted evolutionary aspects of simulation and its current application in medical education. Innovations in this field were highly appreciated by members of the neurosurgical community who recognized the vast potential of simulation to revolutionize this specialty, where intraoperative errors can have disastrous consequences. This historical review may contribute to a better understanding of the relevant role of simulation and for its implementation in the medical curriculum, especially in high complexity specialties such as Neurosurgery.
