A comprehensive knowledge of anatomy is the cornerstone for a safe surgery, maximizing resection and minimizing complications. The best study method is the careful dissection of fresh human cadaveric heads in a well-equipped anatomy laboratory. In this study, we describe our protocol for preparing cadaveric specimens without vascular injection, which had been preserved in a formaldehyde solution after treating them with a dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride\/distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride solution (commercial fabric softener) and injecting the vascular system with latex.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Method\u2003Six cadaveric specimens underwent our treatment and subsequent injection of the vascular system and dissection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003All specimens showed a good penetration of the latex and a clear improvement of the malleability of the tissues was noticed. The authors agree that this technique improved the quality of the head and facilitated studying.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003We consider this an effective treatment with latex, reaching small caliber vessels, and a greater malleability and flexibility of tissues, allowing better dissections, and greater anatomical exposure, making them suitable for skull base training, study, and research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1669422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,28]],"date-time":"2018-08-28T18:50:06Z","timestamp":1535482206000},"page":"270-275","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Technique for Latex Injection and Reuse of Human Heads Preserved in Formaldehyde"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Ricardo L.L.","family":"Dolci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00edvia Castellari","family":"Burchianti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandre Bossi","family":"Todeschini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurological Surgery, Department of Surgery, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andre Fanhani","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirna Duarte","family":"Barros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departament of Morphology, School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Am\u00e9rico Rubens Leite dos","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurological Surgery, Department of Surgery, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulo Roberto","family":"Lazarini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Central Hospital and School of Medicine of Santa Casa de Miseric\u00f3rdia de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,28]]},"container-title":["Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1669422.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,25]],"date-time":"2019-05-25T01:58:40Z","timestamp":1558749520000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1669422"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,28]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,24]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,6]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1669422","relation":{},"ISSN":["2193-6331","2193-634X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2193-6331","type":"print"},{"value":"2193-634X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,28]]}}}
