This summary is machine-generated.

Temporal bone surgery training is shifting from cadavers to virtual reality (VR) simulation and artificial models due to decreasing cadaver availability and cost-effectiveness. Many leading departments already use these alternatives, with most planning future integration.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) Education
  • Surgical Simulation Technologies

Background:

  • Temporal bone surgery training traditionally relies on cadaveric specimens.
  • There is a declining availability of cadavers and laboratory facilities for this surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current status of temporal bone training methods in Europe.
  • To investigate the integration and availability of alternative training modalities.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire study was conducted across 113 otorhinolaryngology departments in 23 European countries.
  • The survey mapped current practices in temporal bone surgical training.

Main Results:

  • Cadaveric dissection remains the most common training method for temporal bone surgery.

  • Significant variations exist in training facility availability and trainee drilling experience.

    • Conclusions:

    • Virtual reality (VR) simulation and artificial models are increasingly adopted in leading ORL training programs.
    • Reasons for adoption include reduced cadaver availability, lower costs, and proven competency enhancement.
    • Most departments anticipate implementing VR and artificial models into residency programs soon.
