Building a Real Endoscopic Sinus and Skull‐Base Surgery Simulator

Abstract: ndoscopic sinus and skull base surgery (ESSS) is considered the "gold standard" for the treatment of many lesions of the nose, paranasal sinus, and adjacent structures. The manipulation of instruments during these procedures is challenging because of the complex anatomy and proximity to important structures such as the brain, orbital content, carotid arteries, and optic nerve, among others. 1 Long periods of training are traditionallynecessary in order to perform safe and adequate ESSS. Resident training inclu… Show more

“…12,18 Nonetheless, based on the clear advantages of teaching surgery through simulation, we created the S.I.M.O.N.T., especially designed for endoscopic training. 14,24 Similarity between the model and the human brain can be attested to in the pictures (Figs. 4 and 5) and videos.…”

“…1). 14,24 Silicon and fiberglass molds in the shape of the cerebral ventricles constitute the basic structure of the neuroendoscopic module trainer. An artist completes the setup by setting intraventricular structures, such as the choroid plexus and blood vessels, as well as pathological conditions, such as tumors and cysts.…”

“…The most common strategy in synthetic simulation is to use 3D printers loaded with DICOM images to produce synthetic models with patient-specific anatomical characteristics. 19,38 Haptic feedback refers to the capacity of a simulator to reproduce the tactile sensation created by the application of force on a natural tissue that, due to its inherent tensile properties, presents a specific pattern of resistance. To enable a meaningful educational experience, it is desirable that surgical simulators provide, at each step of the simulated procedure, the proper haptic feedback that most closely mimics different surgical actions, such as cutting, soft-tissue dissection, hemostasis, bone cutting, and sharp dissection of soft tissues from surrounding structures.…”

“…[24][25][26] This model, however, has certain disadvantages, such as high cost, the use of virtual images that are often confusing and have poor resolution, sensitive changes upon touching certain structures, and the impossibility of handing real tools and endoscopes used in traditional surgery. 26,27 Prodelphus (www.prodelphus.com; Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil) and Brazilian physicians have developed a nasosinusal endoscopy dissection real model. This model is named S.I.M.O.N.T.…”
