Simulation-based training, including computer and cadaver models, is recommended for mastoidectomy surgical skills. Approximately 25 preparations are advised to reach proficiency, ensuring patient safety and effective learning.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Surgical training increasingly utilizes simulators for procedures like mastoidectomy.
  • Alternative training models to cadaver specimens include artificial temporal bones and computer-based simulators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a structured training concept for mastoidectomy.
  • Integrate various training methods based on educational learning theory and effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a literature review comparing learning theories with available training models.
  • Evaluated the effectiveness of different temporal bone surgical training methods.

Main Results:

  • A stepwise approach to surgical skill acquisition is proposed.

  • Recommends using computer-based simulation, followed by plastic or native temporal bones.
  • Suggests approximately 25 semi-autonomous preparations to achieve a learning curve plateau.
  • Implemented Objective Structured Assessments of Technical Skills (OSATS) to monitor progress.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simulation-based training is recommended until proficiency is achieved.
    • This approach enhances patient safety due to limited cadaver availability and aligns with learning theory.
    • The integrated curriculum combines mastoidectomy models and OSATS, requiring continuous adaptation.
