Microsurgical and Endoscopic Center for Clinical Applications (MECCA) Laboratory

The MECCA Laboratory is a multidisciplinary state-of-the-art cadaveric and animal surgical lab for education, training and research. Seventeen integrated stations with LED surgical lights and in-line cameras simulate the operating room. The teleconference enabled lab can be used to teach remotely and facilitates innovative teaching opportunities. The lab is located in the DeBakey Building at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. 

A recent course in the lab focused on the surgical anatomy and management of complex intracranial disorders.
