Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) dissection courses benefit trainees, with anatomy emphasis improving skills. Beginners should start with simpler procedures like infundibulotomy and anterior ethmoidectomy to build confidence.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Surgical Education

Background:

Multicentre analysis of surgical training for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
Identifies strengths and weaknesses in current ESS training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

Systematically analyze ESS surgical training.
Identify areas for improvement in ESS training.

Main Methods:

Structured questionnaire administered to 133 ESS course participants across 7 centers (Germany, Switzerland, Australia).
Assessed participant experiences and suggestions for course improvement.

Main Results:

Frontal sinus surgery presents challenges for many surgeons, regardless of experience.
Infundibulotomy and anterior ethmoidectomy are perceived as easier dissection steps.
