Medicine is a rapidly-evolving discipline, with progress picking up pace with each passing
decade. This constant evolution results in the introduction of new tools and methods, which …

Rhinoplasty training currently follows an apprenticeship model that is largely observational.
Trainees have limited experience in performing maneuvers of this complex surgery …

Background 3D-printed temporal bone models can potentially provide a cost-effective
alternative to cadaver surgery that can be manufactured locally at the training department …

Objective 3-D printing offers convenient and low-cost mastoidectomy training; nonetheless,
training benefits using 3-D-printed temporal bones remain largely unexplored. In this study …

Objective Mastering Cochlear Implant (CI) surgery requires repeated practice, preferably
initiated in a safe–ie simulated–environment. Mastoidectomy Virtual Reality (VR) simulation …

Objective Mastoidectomy is a cornerstone in the surgical management of middle and inner
ear diseases. Unfortunately, training is challenged by insufficient access to human cadavers …

Purpose The opportunities for surgical training and practice in the operating room are in
decline due to limited resources, increased efficiency demands, growing complexity of the …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the use of simulation-based
technical skills training (SBTST) in the otolaryngology curriculum in different countries, and …

Understanding the three‐dimensional (3D) structure of the human skull is imperative for
medical courses. However, medical students are overwhelmed by the spatial complexity of …

Background: Cochlear implantation requires excellent surgical skills; virtual reality
simulation training is an effective method for acquiring basic competency in temporal bone …
