“…Ten are 3-dimensional (3D) models constructed from various materials (Matthews, 1999; Pappachan et al, 2006; Vadodaria et al, 2007; Nagy and Mommaerts, 2009; Senturk, 2013; Liu et al, 2014; Rau et al, 2015; Pinho et al, 2016; Podolsky et al, 2017; Cote et al, 2018). One model is a computer simulation with integrated haptic feedback (Schendel et al, 2005), and one model is a computer simulation that can be used from any Internet browser or mobile application (Plana et al, 2018).…”

“…The cost of the model was reported in 3 studies (Rau et al, 2015; Cote et al, 2018, Plana et al, 2018). Five models were described by the authors as being inexpensive (Matthews, 1999; Nagy and Mommaerts, 2009; Senturk, 2013; Liu et al, 2014; Pinho et al, 2016) .…”

“…The models with the most limited fidelity and realism, graded level III, used a variety of easily available materials to simulate the cleft palate. Plana et al (2018) describe a 3D digital animation simulation of a variety of cleft surgeries. The model can be accessed by major Internet browsers and mobile applications.…”

“…The majority of these models used paper, plastic, and latex fashioned together to mimic the gross anatomical relationships of the cleft palate and oral cavity. Plana et al (2018) did not describe where the anatomy of the included cleft surgeries was derived from. The computer model of the cleft palate (Schendel et al, 2005) was based on a computed tomography scan of a patient with a cleft palate; as such, it is intuitive to assume that the gross anatomical relationships were preserved.…”

Objective: Simulation-based training is a relatively new inclusion to surgical training curricula, with promises of achieving increased competency while maximizing patient safety. Cleft palate, which contributes significantly to the global burden of surgically treatable diseases, is a challenging repair to learn due to the high level of skill and dexterity required, delicate oral tissues, and limited space of an infant oral cavity. Simulation training can allow cleft palate education to move from an observational to a competency-based learning. Hence, this systematic review presents the models described in the literature that simulate cleft palate repair. Design: The systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. An electronic search of the MEDLINE and Cochrane databases was performed. Qualitative data were extracted, and the models were stratified based on their anatomical fidelity and realism, forming the basis of the curriculum. Results: The database search returned 3261 articles. Twelve articles were considered eligible for inclusion. The anatomical fidelity, human tissue likeness, evidence of improved outcomes, and cost are discussed. Conclusions: Cleft palate is a globally significant birth defect and its repair is a difficult procedure to learn. This review presents the 12 models of cleft palate described in the literature, highlighting the advances and gaps in current cleft palate simulation.

“…In recent years, the technology has been further developed, yielding digital simulations involved in human–computer interactions, which enabled students to study each surgical step in great detail. 132 – 134 Each step of cleft lip nasal deformity reconstruction was listed. The students and doctors can choose the step they want to learn and view the manoeuvre from different angles.…”

Surgeons need to understand the effects of the nasal cartilage on facial morphology, the function of both soft tissues and hard tissues and nasal function when performing nasal surgery. In nasal cartilage-related surgery, the main goals for clinical research should include clarification of surgical goals, rationalization of surgical methods, precision and personalization of surgical design and preparation and improved convenience of doctor-patient communication. Computational technology has become an effective way to achieve these goals. Advances in three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology will promote nasal cartilage-related applications, including research on computational modelling technology, computational simulation technology, virtual surgery planning and 3D printing technology. These technologies are destined to revolutionize nasal surgery further. In this review, we summarize the advantages, latest findings and application progress of various computational technologies used in clinical nasal cartilage-related work and research. The application prospects of each technique are also discussed.

Digital technologies are changing the landscape of anatomy education. To reveal the trend of digital anatomy education across medical science disciplines, searches were performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE bibliographic databases for research articles published from January 2010 to June 2021 (inclusive). The search was restricted to publications written in English language and to articles describing teaching tools in undergraduate and postgraduate anatomy and pre‐vocational clinical anatomy training courses. Among 156 included studies across six health disciplines, 35% used three‐dimensional (3D) digital printing tools, 24.2% augmented reality (AR), 22.3% virtual reality (VR), 11.5% web‐based programs, and 4.5% tablet‐based apps. There was a clear discipline‐dependent preference in the choice and employment of digital anatomy education. AR and VR were the more commonly adopted digital tools for medical and surgical anatomy education, while 3D printing is more broadly used for nursing, allied health and dental health education compared to other digital resources. Digital modalities were predominantly adopted for applied interactive anatomy education and primarily in advanced anatomy curricula such as regional anatomy and neuroanatomy. Moreover, there was a steep increase in VR anatomy combining digital simulation for surgical anatomy training. There is a consistent increase in the adoption of digital modalities in anatomy education across all included health disciplines. AR and VR anatomy incorporating digital simulation will play a more prominent role in medical education of the future. Combining multimodal digital resources that supports blended and interactive learning will further modernize anatomy education, moving medical education further away from its didactic history.

The First Year of Global Cleft Surgery Education Through Digital Simulation

Abstract: The Internet shows promise as a platform for surgical education and may help address restrictions and reduce disparities in surgical training. The virtual surgical simulator presented may serve as the foundation for the development of a global curriculum in cleft repair.
