The Osman Microsurgical Laboratory is part of the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair. This high-tech facility offers full spectrum of microsurgical instruments and equipment, and is available to residents, fellows, and faculty for research as well as skull base and complex cranial neurosurgical dissections. 

2018 Renovations at Osman

Construction was started in April of 2018 to expand the space and update the facilities at Osman Laboratory. We expect that the lab will be returned to its fully functional state by June, 2018.
