Course content
|
Each course of 4 hour duration, will be open for 2 students. Based on their interest, the ENT department will provide sufficient number of course available. The course will begin with the introduction of the surgical simulator and its features. The Voxelmann sumilator contains 3D glasses and 2 haptic devices resembling bimanual work. The haptic devices provide haptic feedback allowing the trainee a realistic handling of instruments and tissue. Consequently, the trainees will perform a predefined surgical procedure on a virtual temporal bone - transcortical mastoidectomy. The procedure consists of following steps: drilling mastoid pneumatisation, creation of mastoid cavity, identification of crucial anatomical landmarks (sigmoid sinus, middle and posterior cranial fossa dura, semicricular canals, facial nerve). An automatic skulls assessment provides an objective feedback of the trainee's performace.

Learning outcomes
|
The temporal bone is a very complex anatomical region. A dissection by insufficiently experienced surgeon could result in severe or even fatal complications. A virtual reality surgical training expedites the acquisition of understanding the anatomy and psychomotor skills using a virtual surgical tools, including a drill, without a risk to a real patient. The aim is to offer an access to the state-of-art technology enabling to gain surgical skill, e.g. fine motor skills, visuomotor coordination and perception of a virtual 3D space. The course will take place at the Surgical Temporal Bone Simulator Room at the Clinic of ENt and head and Neck Surgery. It will be always opened for 2 students.
After the completion of the course, the trainee will gain basic skills required for ear surgery. These are transferable to the surgical specialties, e.g. robotic surgery, maxillo-facial surgery etc.
