“An open-access, comprehensive otolaryngology—head and neck surgery video atlas for resident education”

Abstract

Elsevier has created a COVID-19 resource centre with free information in English and Mandarin on the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The COVID-19 resource centre is hosted on Elsevier Connect, the company's public news and information website. Elsevier hereby grants permission to make all its COVID-19-related research that is available on the COVID-19 resource centre-including this research content-immediately available in PubMed Central and other publicly funded repositories, such as the WHO COVID database with rights for unrestricted research re-use and analyses in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source. These permissions are granted for free by Elsevier for as long as the COVID-19 resource centre remains active.

Educational Quality of YouTube Cholesteatoma Surgery Videos: Areas for Improvement

“…Nonetheless, this platform does not require peer review prior to publishing and may lead to decreased EQ. Currently, few surgical video resources are peer reviewed or created by academic professional societies such as the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and Headmirror 17 . While these atlases use YouTube for video sharing, our search rarely found these videos, highlighting that trainees may need to independently search for these.…”

Emerging concepts in endoscopic skull base surgery training

“…TA B L E 2 Endoscopic endonasal levels of surgery reality simulators, surgical video review and other low cost materials. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Perhaps the most important scenarios for surgical simulation are rarely occurring events with catastrophic results. In this regard, internal carotid artery (ICA) injury during EEA is a vitally important scenario to rehearse.…”

“…Several training opportunities have been developed in recent years to reduce the learning curve and increase surgical training proficiency. There has been increased interest in alternative models to simulate EEA surgery including 3‐dimensional (3D) printed models, virtual reality simulators, surgical video review and other low cost materials 15–22 …”

Regarding “Development of a Surgical Video Atlas for Resident Education: 3‐Year Experience”

“…We read with great interest the article by Brown et al, 1 “Development of a Surgical Video Atlas for Resident Education: 3‐Year Experience.” In this article, the authors present their excellent work collaborating with the Journal of Medical Insight ( JOMI ) to produce 29 otolaryngology surgical videos to aid in surgical education. We agree that high‐quality instructional surgical videos enhance trainees’ development, accelerate surgical skill acquisition, and provide a needed supplement to operative experience in a time when operative volumes and trainee surgical involvement may be altered by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic 2,3 . Illustrating the heightened need for asynchronous learning platforms, other recent publications have highlighted surgical atlas videos, podcasts, recorded lectures, and readings in a proposed COVID‐19 era otolaryngology medical student curriculum 4,5 …”
