🎯 Simulation is not the future. It’s the present of neurosurgical education.
A 2025 study authored by F. Robertson et all, the result of a collaborative effort between Harvard Medical School – Massachusetts General Hospital and Stanford University, developed a novel training curriculum based on the UpSurgeOn Anterior CervicalBox—and the results speak for themselves.
📈 +29.6% faster to reach retractor docking
📈 -70% in cage placement time
📈 -27.9% in plate and screw placement
📈 88.9% of residents: “This should be part of standard neurosurgical training.”
🙏 Special thanks to Dr. Grazia Menna for coordinating this impactful research and pushing the boundaries of surgical education. We also sincerely thank the teams from Harvard University and Stanford University for their valuable work and support.
