Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Aural ventilation tube insertion is a common otological procedure.
  • Training for this procedure is often limited by the availability and cost of temporal bones and commercial models.
  • There is a need for accessible and affordable training tools for otological surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, cost-effective method for creating a training model for ear canal and eardrum insertion.
  • To provide an alternative training solution using readily available materials.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simulation model using materials commonly found in an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) ward.
  • Focus on replicating the ear canal and tympanic membrane for procedural practice.

Main Results:

  • A functional and accessible model for practicing aural ventilation tube insertion was created.
  • The model addresses the scarcity and expense of traditional training resources.

Conclusions:

  • This low-cost model offers a practical solution for training otological procedures.
  • It enhances surgical training accessibility by utilizing readily available ENT ward materials.
