“…The other 14 articles (64 per cent) were cross-sectional studies. 7–10,13,15,18–20,22,24–27 These reported subjective measures demonstrating largely positive outcomes in terms of anatomical fidelity, haptic feedback, and value in the translation of surgical skill to the operating theatre. Several studies reported unanimous interest for integration into the curriculum.…”

ObjectiveThree-dimensional printing is a revolutionary technology that is disrupting the status quo in surgery. It has been rapidly adopted by otolaryngology as a tool in surgical simulation for high-risk, low-frequency procedures. This systematic review comprehensively evaluates the contemporary usage of three-dimensional printed otolaryngology simulators.MethodA systematic review of the literature was performed with narrative synthesis.ResultsTwenty-two articles were identified for inclusion, describing models that span a range of surgical tasks (temporal bone dissection, airway procedures, functional endoscopic sinus surgery and endoscopic ear surgery). Thirty-six per cent of articles assessed construct validity (objective measures); the other 64 per cent only assessed face and content validity (subjective measures). Most studies demonstrated positive feedback and high confidence in the models’ value as additions to the curriculum.ConclusionWhilst further studies supported with objective metrics are merited, the role of three-dimensional printed otolaryngology simulators is poised to expand in surgical training given the enthusiastic reception from trainees and experts alike.

Introduction:A choristoma formed by heterotopic tissue rarely occurs in the throat, especially one accompanied with cleft palate in a new-born baby.Patient concerns:An 18-month-old female patient was admitted to the hospital for apparent snoring symptoms accompanied by mouth breathing and sleep apnea. In addition, the patient presented with weak aspiration and nasal leakage during fluid intake.Diagnosis:The patient received routine physical examination and endoscopy showing that there was a wide fissure which split from the palate vertical anterior cleft to 1/3 of the hard palate. Meanwhile, we found an unclear-bordered uplift in the left palate and a soft mass. The radiographs revealed a mass with inhomogeneous density convex to the pharyngeal cavity.Interventions:The patient was subsequently referred for surgical resection and tissue diagnosis of choristoma was confirmed by pathological examination. H&E staining showed well demarcated mature brain tissue with scattered sand-like calcification.Outcomes:According to the diagnosis, the patient suffered from pharyngeal glial choristoma and incomplete cleft palate. The surgical resection and repair were performed together. The postoperative recovery was very good.Lessons:Choristoma rarely occurs in the head and neck, especially if accompanied by cleft palate. Early diagnosis for choristoma relies heavily on clinical examination and radiological imaging. Complete resection of choristoma remains the gold standard for treatment of these patients.

“… 38 , 39 One high-fidelity simulator incorporates the use of the 3-dimensional printing with silicone casting that not only enhances skill development but also has the added benefit of low cost and high portability. 36 This model was developed from the computed tomography scan of a patient and adjusted by highly trained cleft surgeons. The tensile strength and feel of tissues were also adjusted based on recommendations by the surgeons.…”

The nationwide focus on patient safety and the health of residents has increased the demand for educational tools outside the operating room. Simulation is a valuable tool for assessing and developing surgical skills in a controlled and safe environment. The use of simulation as a formal component of training has been increasing in various surgical subspecialties. In general surgery, simulation examinations such as the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery and Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery have become a prerequisite to board certification. Although formal simulation examinations in plastic surgery are not universal, there has been an increase in the use of simulation to increase resident competency in the operating room. For now, we will review the current state of simulation in craniofacial, hand, microvascular, and esthetic surgery and discuss applications for the future. We will also discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality in plastic surgery training and testing.
