Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Simulator as a teaching tool for anatomy education

Simulation techniques in the anatomy curriculum: review of literature

“…The division depends on the level of reality, partial or holistic view on human''s body or interactions with surroundings [31,42]. An example of these are the high-fidelity parts of the body manikins with very basic application to demonstrate or indicate anatomical structures and the Human Patient Simulator which is one of the most impressive high--fidelity whole body manikins [2,43].…”

Performance of technology-driven simulators for medical students—a systematic review

“…This will save institutions having to provide cadaver-based teaching, which could be financially straining and time consuming with regard to ethical approvals. In addition, the diminishing number of anatomists means that anatomy education is becoming under pressure to maintain stability in the wider medical education field [23]. The use of simulators such as the endoscopic sinus surgery simulator may become the key to anatomy teaching in the future.…”

“…Solyar et al [23] investigated the usefulness of the endoscopic sinus surgery simulator in teaching sinus anatomy to first-year medical students. Group one (n ¼ 8) trained on the simulator, whereas group two (n ¼ 7) used a variety of anatomy textbooks.…”
