Study Summary
The goal of this project is to improve the efficiency of training and assessment of technical skill in surgical treatment of otologic disease. Through previous funding, we have developed an intuitive virtual simulation environment to be used as an adjuvant for teaching temporal bone surgery. Using direct-volume visualization techniques with integrated stereoscopic display, haptic (force) feedback, and aural simulation, we have achieved a straightforward, low-cost learning environment ready for translation into a practical training and assessment tool. This application challenges and seeks to shift current practice in clinical training by translating the simulation environment into a vehicle for curriculum development, technical skills assessment, and dissemination. The intent is to provide more accessible, inexpensive, safe, and deliberate practice with objective and continuous quantitative, objective assessment in the early stages of training.
Primary Outcome
A collection of metrics designed to measure technical performance during a mastoidectomy will be validated by expert survey. These metrics will be translated to an automated system within the surgical simulation system. Resident subjects will be asked to perform the surgical procedure (mastoidectomy) within the simulation. Experts will then rate the playback of the performances using the validated metrics. These results will be compared to the automated scoring system. A conclusion will be drawn
