“…This may be due to the heterogeneity of the participant groups, difficulty of the simulation task, lack of prior exposure by participants and limited corrective instruction provided during or between attempts. Increased number of attempts in the simulation may be necessary before baseline performance expectations or gains in skill can be quantified 2,10 . No differentiation could be made between educational modality (video versus live demonstration), which may be attributed to inadequate exposures to the instructional materials and limitations of the educational environment.…”

Autologous cartilage grafting during open airway reconstruction is a complex skill instrumental to the success of the operation. Most trainees lack the adequate opportunity to develop proficiency in this skill. We hypothesized three-dimensional (3D) printing and computer-aided design can be used to create a high-fidelity simulator for developing skills carving costal cartilage grafts for airway reconstruction. The rapid manufacturing and low cost of the simulator allow deployment in locations lacking expert instructors or cadaveric dissection, such as medical missions and third world countries. In this blinded, prospective observational study resident trainees completed a physical simulator exercise using a 3D-printed costal cartilage grafting tool. Participant assessment was performed using a Likert-scale questionnaire and airway grafts were assessed by a blinded expert surgeon. A majority of participants found this to be a very relevant training tool and highly rated the level of realism of the simulation tool.

“…En los últimos años, los avances en la técnica han permitido lograr resultados de mayor calidad [1][2][3][4] . El cartílago costal sigue siendo, sin discusión, el material de elección para la construcción de la nueva estructura o "molde", uno de sus principales inconvenientes es la deformidad de contorno que puede producir en la zona dadora en pacientes en crecimiento.…”

evaluation of donor site in auricular reconstruction of microtia with supraperichondrial costal cartilage harvest technique aim: To assess the presence of donor site sequel of patients undergoing ear reconstruction with costal cartilage harvest, using supraperichondrial technique. methods: Cross-sectional study; patients under 15 years. The cartilages were harvested with perichondrium. Three observers performed donor site assessment; they were independent to this study (validated Strasser score: deformity, asymmetry, contour and scar). Children and their mothers were applied satisfaction survey. Analysis of the association between variables: nonparametric tests. results: 19 reconstructions, 18 patients, age 8 (6-15) years, follow-up 50 (14-96) months; number of rib cartilage harvested 3 (2-4) units. Expert assessment: excellent in 2 (10.5%) cases, good in 10 (52.6%), regular in 7 (36.8%). Most mothers and patients rated the result as good. There was no significant difference in the score, with respect to the number of harvested costal cartilages. To separate them by age, poorer results were obtained at surgery before 10 years of age than in older (p < 0.03). conclusion: Ear reconstruction and supraperichondrial technique for costal cartilage allows obtain good results in donor site. There is high satisfaction when evaluated by the patient and his mother, as well as observers. The result is not dependent on the number of harvested cartilage, but is related to age at surgery, best results were obtained in patients operated over 10 years of age.
