Repetitive simulation training with novel 3D-printed sinus models for functional endoscopic sinus surgeries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to find a utility of a newly developed 3D-printed sinus model and to evaluate the educational benefit of simulation training with the models for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Material and methods

Forty-seven otolaryngologists were categorized as experts (board-certified physicians with ≥200 experiences of FESS, n = 9), intermediates (board-certified physicians with <200 experiences of FESS, n = 19), and novices (registrars, n = 19). They performed FESS simulation training on 3D-printed models manufactured from DICOM images of computed tomography (CT) scan of real patients. Their surgical performance was assessed with the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score and dissection
