“…Although 3D printing technology has been frequently used for preoperative assessment in endoscopic sinus surgery [11], it is also used to create anatomical models for surgical training in FESS, with the possibility of creating high-fidelity models, being able to simulate certain sinus pathologies, benefiting from validation in this sense, but without benefiting from the real feeling of the tissues, an important disadvantage compared to the sheep's head training.…”

“…Even with the mentioned drawbacks, we consider that the ovine FESS model can be an integrative part of surgical training alongside artificial models. Combining the precise anatomy of the artificial models with the feel and overall experience of the ovine model, a more complex teaching experience could be achieved, considering the importance of functional endoscopic sinus surgery [12].…”

Background and Objectives: This study aims to establish the sheep head as a viable anatomical model for training in functional endoscopic sinus surgery through comprehensive anatomical examination and training-based assessment of participants’ satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Participants were divided into three groups according to their prior experience in endoscopic sinus surgery; in total, 24 participants were included. Each participant in the study was assigned to perform the designated procedures on a single sheep’s head. Following the completion of the procedures, each participant was provided with a 14-item comprehensive satisfaction questionnaire with a scale attributed from 1 to 5. The normality of distribution was checked by applying the Shapiro-Wilk Test. The Kruskal–Wallis test was applied to compare study group sentiment of agreement towards individual procedures. Results: No significant differences were noted between the answers of the different groups. For the resident group, the average satisfaction score was 4.09 ± 0.54; junior specialist group 4.00 ± 0.55; for the senior specialist group overall satisfaction average score was 4.2 ± 0.77. Conclusions: The sheep’s head can be successfully used for learning and practicing manual skills and the use of instruments specific to functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Moreover, the sheep head model can be used for training in other diagnostic or surgical procedures in the field of otorhinolaryngology, such as endoscopy of the salivary glands, open laryngotracheal surgery, or in otologic surgery, but also in other different surgical fields such as neurosurgery, ophthalmology or plastic surgery. Despite the differences between the ovine model and human anatomy, it provides a resourceful and cost-effective model for beginners in endoscopic nasal surgery.
