Simulation training for myringotomy and tube (M&T) placement is feasible. While novices improved simulator scores, M&T simulation did not enhance initial surgical performance or speed up competency acquisition.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Myringotomy and tube (M&T) placement is a common otolaryngologic procedure.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of simulation training for surgical skills is crucial for improving patient safety and training efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of a simulation training program for myringotomy and tube (M&T) placement.
  • To compare the rate of achieving competency between trainees who underwent simulation training and those who did not.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective randomized controlled, multi-institutional study was conducted.
  • Trainees were divided into simulation training and control groups.
  • Outcomes measured included simulator Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) scores, intraoperative OSATS scores, and time to competency.

Main Results:

  • Trainees in the simulation group achieved higher scores on the simulator-based OSATS.
  • No significant differences were found in OSATS scores during initial live surgery between the groups.
  • Simulation training did not lead to a faster rate of achieving competency in myringotomy.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-institutional simulation training for M&T placement is feasible.
  • Simulation training improved performance on the simulator but did not translate to improved initial intraoperative performance or faster competency acquisition.
