Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anatomy
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • The temporal bone is a complex skull region housing vital structures for hearing, balance, and cranial nerves.
  • Surgical procedures on the temporal bone are challenging due to its intricate anatomy and proximity to critical elements.
  • Current training methods rely on scarce cadaver dissections, necessitating advanced simulation tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a realistic 3D simulator for temporal bone surgical training.
  • To provide surgeons with an interactive platform for mastering complex anatomical approaches.
  • To incorporate expert feedback for enhanced surgical education and skill development.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 3D temporal bone model using patient-specific data.
