Abstract

Background: Otology training solely using cadavers is challenging because of scarcity and high costs. The use of additive manufacturing technology is a promising alternative. This study aimed to qualitatively validate new additive manufacturing temporal bone specimens for their realism and ability to train surgical skills.

Methods: Three additive manufacturing models generated using cadaveric temporal bones were evaluated. Three otologists with experience as trainers dissected and evaluated each specimen.

Results: The additive manufacturing specimens scored an average of 4.26 ± 0.72 (out of 5) points and received positive feedback. The agreement between the three expert raters was high (intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.745).

Conclusion: The results suggested that the additive manufacturing temporal bones were able to faithfully reproduce a training experience similar to that on cadaveric temporal bones. Further studies that investigate the effectiveness of these specimens in training surgical skills are needed before integrating them into surgical training curricula.

增材制造颞骨标本的表面和内容验证。

背景：由于稀缺和高成本，仅使用尸体进行耳科培训具有挑战性。使用增材制造技术是一个很有前途的选择。本研究旨在定性验证新的增材制造颞骨标本的真实性和训练手术技能的能力。方法：对三种用尸体颞骨制作的增材制造模型进行评价。三位有经验的耳科医生对每个标本进行解剖和评估。结果：增材制造样品的平均得分为4.26±0.72分（满分5分），并得到了积极的反馈。三位专家评分者的一致性较高（类内相关系数为0.745）。结论：增材制造颞骨能够真实再现与尸体颞骨相似的训练体验。在将这些标本纳入外科培训课程之前，需要进一步研究这些标本在训练外科技能方面的有效性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
