Objective This study sought to assess the impact of simulation training in influencing trainees’ initial surgical participation as perceived by experienced surgeon trainers. Methods Twenty ENT surgeons assessed how much of a given procedure they would expect to allow a trainee to perform for their first time. Responses were provided for trainees who had undergone a relevant simulation course and those who had not, and scored according to the eLogbook levels of involvement in surgery. This was completed for simulated procedures with validated models, across four grades of junior doctors. Results A total of 1120 judgements on the trainees’ intended level of involvement were made. The median involvement score was higher in the simulation group versus the non-simulation group (Mann–Whitney U, p = 0.0001), corresponding to a translation in surgical opportunity from a primarily assisting role to an active role. Conclusion Trainer perception of a relevant ENT simulation course appears to positively impact on the initial surgical opportunities afforded to the trainee.

Purpose Otorhinolaryngological surgeries being highly aerosol-generating carry the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Most centers have canceled elective surgeries. Surgical demonstration and hands-on training of postgraduate residents are challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Continued training of residents is of utmost importance in terms of time and skill development. Tonsillectomy is one of the most common and important surgeries in ENT. Resident training of tonsillectomy is essential. Here, we present a simple, inexpensive model for tonsillectomy hands-on training addressing critical steps of the surgery. Methods An oropharynx and tonsil model is prepared using easily available materials, such as a small plastic tub, gauze pieces, ribbon gauze, and rubber strips. The junior residents are trained in all the critical steps of tonsillectomy using routine tonsillectomy instruments. Conclusion This model for tonsillectomy is a simple, inexpensive model for training postgraduate residents during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that this model can help young residents to get trained in critical steps of tonsillectomy, in a closely simulated environment and help them develop confidence and skills in managing live patients.
