Effective hearing is achieved by simply bringing the cartilage-conduction transducer into contact with the auricular cartilage. Crouzon syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis and is associated with a high incidence of meatal atresia, which causes conductive hearing loss. Cranial enlargement surgeries are performed repeatedly during infancy and early childhood to reduce the symptoms of intracranial hypertension. Therefore, BCHA can be difficult to use. We report the case of a child with Crouzon syndrome who required multiple cranial surgeries for craniosynostosis, in whom CCHAs were applied.

The postoperative volume was significantly larger in board-certified participants (certified; 25.51±4.22 cm<sup>3</sup> vs. uncertified; 22.87±4.14 cm<sup>3</sup>, <em>p</em> = 0.03). The volume is positively correlated to the objective structured assessment of technical skills score (<em>r</em> = 0.72, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.01) and the number of experienced cases (<em>r</em> = 0.51, <em>p</em> = 0.01). The accuracy of the 3D-CG judgement for completion of a surgical middle meatal antrostomy, sphenoidotomy, and frontal sinusotomy were 91.3 %, 69.6 %, and 84.8 %, when compared to recorded endoscopic video, with high sensitivity and specificity.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The combination of standardized 3D models and image analysis provides a simple and objective tool for the assessment of surgical skill proficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55627,"journal":{"name":"Auris Nasus Larynx","volume":"52 5","pages":"Pages 567-574"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144896141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
