Abstract
Objective(s): To assess the impact of a novel 3D-printed simulation model with Brainlab Image Guidance on enhancing otolaryngology residents' skills and confidence in performing transcervical intralaryngeal injection (TII) compared with conventional training methods.
Methods: Utilizing a 3D-printed larynx model derived from computed tomography (CT) scans, this study involved 16 otolaryngology residents divided into two groups for TII training: one with Brainlab Image Guidance (LMIG) and the other without (LM). Pre- and post-training evaluations measured participants' confidence while the Brainlab system measured the accuracy of their needle placements.
Results: After training, participants exhibited a significant increase in confidence with an average rise from 1.56 to 2.75 on a 5-point scale. The LMIG group outperformed the LM group in accuracy achieving statistically significant reductions in target distances after training (3.5 mm right, 3.6 mm left). The LMIG also demonstrated a significantly greater increase in procedural confidence over the LM group after training.
Conclusion: The TII laryngeal model with Brainlab Image Guidance significantly improves procedural confidence and accuracy among otolaryngology residents, signifying potential advantage over a more conventional training approach. The model's realistic tactile and live instrument positioning feedback augments the process of surgical skill refinement in a controlled, risk-free, simulation environment.
期刊介绍:
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
