Young Neurosurgeons Forum has
elaborate plans for a comprehensive training of neurosurgical
residents as well as revision of the basic and advanced
neurosurgical principles for the young neurosurgical colleagues.
These ambitious projects include workshops, publications and
facilitation in purchase of some basic neurosurgical instruments for
the neurosurgeons starting their professional career.
"Basic Surgical Techniques 4:
Positioning in Neurosurgery"
"Magnification in Neurosurgery:
Loops Vs Microscope"
Some of these
workshops shall be hands-on, cadaver dissection and others hands-on
on dummies and models. It is still being debated whether these
workshops be held in bigger cities like Lahore,
Karachi and Islamabad or to take these
workshops to the periphery. Please contribute your opinion in this
regard on the
PNML (Pakistan
Neurosurgery Mailing List).
Basic set of instruments, basic
microscope
Like the WFNS, the YNF has taken up the giant task of making the
basic sets of neurosurgical instruments (craniotomy, laminectomy,
microinstruments) and a very basic operating microscope available to
YNF members at a subsidized rate. Availability of these shall be
announced soon on this site, Insha Allah. So make sure to check this
page regularly.
Publications
YNF
is working on making available a series of basic educational
material in digital as well as print format. This material shall
mainly be designed to help the neurosurgery residents in their final
years of training. The material shall be available through this
page, hopefully free of cost.
