Declarations
:
: This project was registered with the local neurosurgical governance team at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as a service evaluation. In line with UK Health Research Authority (HRA) guidance, the work was judged to assess and optimise an existing service without altering patient care pathways or randomising patients to different interventions and therefore did not require NHS Research Ethics Committee review. All patients had already provided written consent for the use of surplus resected tissue for research and education.
