Kozyrev","Jonathan Roth","Shlomi Constantini"],"abstract":"Background: The aim of this paper is to provide a depiction of the surgical technique and dynamic story behind the procedures in pediatric neurosurgery. Methods: Five standard common pediatric neurosurgeries: endoscopic third ventriculostomy, fronto-orbital advancement for metopic and coronal craniosynostoses, posterior fossa craniotomy, strip craniectomy for sagittal craniosynostosis, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting were chosen to be exampled in illustrations. Results: Surgical techniques were depicted in a step-by-step fashion with comic-like style of images. Illustrations enable to highlight specific surgical and anatomical features and also convey surgical procedures in a sequential order from beginning to end as if it is a story. Conclusion: Surgical illustrations may serve as an educational tool with potentially instructional value for practical application, especially for surgical trainees.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/ecbd153e-e5b5-4042-86ef-73c725437ac4/featured/hero-1781563778953.png","publishDate":"2019-09-13T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_434_2019","categories":["Pediatric Neurosurgery","Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/ecbd153e-e5b5-4042-86ef-73c725437ac4/pdf"}
