Cadaver dissection enhances understanding of angles and depths in endoscopic sinus surgery. This training method, along with instrument calibration, improves surgical precision and patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) presents challenges in spatial orientation due to differing imaging and surgical angles.
  • Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans may not accurately reflect the intraoperative perspective, potentially compromising instrument insertion accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate critical angles and depths relevant to endoscopic sinus surgery using a realistic anatomical model.
  • To enhance surgical training and improve intraoperative decision-making for endoscopic sinus procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Performed 15 cadaver dissections focusing on the nasal and paranasal sinus anatomy.
  • Measured 14 key dimensions pertinent to the endoscopic surgical approach.
  • Simulated the intraoperative environment to assess spatial relationships.

Main Results:

  • Identified specific anatomical landmarks and spatial parameters crucial for safe ESS instrument navigation.
  • Quantified critical angles and depths that are difficult to appreciate from preoperative imaging alone.

Conclusions:

  • Cadaver dissection is a valuable component of advanced sinus surgery training.
  • Implementing a reference probe along the nasal floor and calibrating endoscopic instruments can aid depth perception during surgery.
