Traditional surgical training includes temporal bone preparations by cadaver dissection and supervised operating room practice. As these on-site trainings are limited, there is a need to broaden education facilities in an on-line format. Therefore, a first basic on-line training for otosurgery was developed.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>The system consists of an artificial temporal bone model together with a set of basic surgical instruments and implant dummies. As an essential part of the training kit, a high-resolution camera set is included that allows for connection to a video streaming platform and enables remote supervision of the trainees' surgical steps by experienced otological surgeons. In addition, a pre-learning platform covering temporal bone anatomy and instrumentation and pre-recorded lectures and instructional videos has been developed to allow trainees to review and reinforce their understanding before hands-on practice.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Over the three courses held to date, 28 participants with varying levels of prior surgical experience took part in this otological surgical training program. The immediate feedback of the participants was evaluated by means of a questionnaire. On this basis, the high value of the program became apparent and specific areas could by identified where further refinements could lead to an even more robust training experience.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The presented program of an otosurgical online training allows for basal education in practical exercises on a remote system. In this way, trainees who have no direct access to on-site instruction facilities in ear surgery now have the chance to start their otosurgical training in an educational setting adapted to modern technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":"78-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11618167/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140857012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
