The McGill Simulator for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (MSESS) is a realistic and useful virtual reality tool for training. It effectively differentiates surgical skill levels and shows promise for improving endoscopic sinus surgery education.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is complex and carries risks.
  • Virtual reality (VR) simulation is a proven educational tool.
  • A validated VR simulator for ESS is needed for residency training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the McGill Simulator for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (MSESS) for realism and user acceptance.
  • Assess the MSESS's ability to differentiate surgical trainees by experience level.
  • Determine the simulator's potential for integration into otolaryngology residency curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students, residents, and expert surgeons performed simulated ESS procedures on the MSESS.
  • Performance metrics included quality, efficiency, and safety parameters.

  • Participants completed questionnaires on realism, usefulness, and perceived training benefits.

    • Main Results:

    • The MSESS achieved high realism (7.97/10) and usefulness (8.57/10) scores.
    • 29 out of 30 participants believed the simulator should be part of the curriculum.
    • Significant performance differences were observed between novice and senior surgeons across quality, efficiency, and safety metrics.

    Conclusions:

    • The MSESS shows initial validity for otolaryngology residency education.
    • This VR simulator can help address the current gap in endoscopic sinus surgery training.
    • The MSESS demonstrates potential as a valuable resource for surgical skill development.
