“…8 Others have described the use of a child's size 2 trainer, 9 crisp cans, 10 a square tissue box and paper clips, 11 and a skull model. 12 The most technical of these involved the use of a virtual-reality subtotal tonsillectomy simulator. 5 We offer this tonsil tie simulator as a feasible, safe training opportunity to aid current surgical training and the evaluation of that training.…”

Purpose of Review Simulation-based training is an integral component of surgical training. It allows practice of technical skills within a safe environment without compromising patient safety. This article seeks to review current virtual and non-virtual reality simulation models within the literature and review their validation status. Recent Findings Many simulation models exist within otolaryngology and are currently being used for education. New models are also continuously being developed; however, validity should be proven for the models before incorporating their use for educational purposes. Validity should be determined by experts and trainees themselves. Summary A validated simulation curriculum should be incorporated within the otolaryngology training programme. A curriculum based on the current training programme at our institution serves as an exemplar for local adoption.

“…We read with interest the article by Raja et al. 1 and agree that the time and place to ‘learn’ a new technique is not when there is a bleeding patient. Given this, we would like to highlight a modification to the Nottingham tonsillectomy haemostasis simulator 2 that we have found useful.…”
