    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Education
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • A notable decrease in stapedectomy procedures has been observed over the past 15 years.
    • Concerns exist regarding resident training and surgeon qualifications for stapes surgery.
    • Stapedectomy demands distinct skills from chronic ear surgery, with proficiency declining if not regularly practiced.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel laboratory technique for stapedectomy training.
    • To enhance surgical skills for residents and infrequent stapedectomy operators.
    • To address the decline in stapedectomy proficiency and improve surgical experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized laboratory technique for stapedectomy simulation.
    • Focus on practicing precise surgical maneuvers essential for stapedectomy.
    • Pre-operative skill enhancement prior to patient intervention.

    Main Results:

    • The technique provides a platform for skill acquisition and refinement.
    • Aids in maintaining the necessary dexterity for performing stapedectomies.
    • Facilitates improved surgical experience for trainees and less frequent operators.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed laboratory technique is effective for improving stapedectomy skills.
    • It offers a viable solution for maintaining surgical proficiency in an infrequently performed procedure.
    • This method can enhance resident training and surgeon competency in stapedectomy.
