“…Henceforth, a detailed preoperative evaluation of the ostium of the sphenoid sinus is continuously warranted. Some of the most contemporary non-invasive methods of assessment of the sinuses might be utilizing 3D CT imaging [9] or virtual dissection tables [21]. A surgeon might have a difficulty whilst attempting to find the ostium of the sphenoid sinus during a procedure and opt to use the C-arm fluoroscopy, but applying the aforementioned modern techniques might help diminish its intraoperative use [9].…”

Background: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the size of the sphenoid sinuses' ostia, the distance between them and the distance between the medial margin of the ostia and the median line in the Polish adult population. Materials and methods:The analysis was undertaken as a retrospective study of 296 computed tomography (CT) scans of patients (147 females, 149 males) with no comorbidities in their sphenoid sinuses. The paranasal sinuses were investigated by using Spiral CT Scanner (Siemens Somatom Sensation 16), in the option Siemens CARE Dose 4D, without administering any contrast medium. Having obtained transverse planes, multiplans reconstruction tool was used in order to glean sagittal and frontal planes. Results:The average size of both sphenoid sinuses ostia was 0.31 cm for both genders (for females ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 cm and from 0.1 to 0.6 cm for males). The mean distance between both sphenoid sinuses ostia was 0.6 cm for both genders (the range for females was 0.1-1.4 cm, whereas 0.1-1.8 cm for males). The average distance between the medial margin of the ostium and the median line was 0.32 cm for both genders (0.31 cm for females in the range of 0-0.9 cm and 0.32 cm for males in the range of 0-1 cm).Conclusions: Intraoperative identification of the sphenoid sinus ostia might prove difficult and their inadequate excision could lead to potential iatrogenic complications, hence detailed anatomical descriptions are still warranted in specific populations in order to perform safe and effective procedures.

“…Some of the most modern techniques of analysing anatomical entities prior to a surgery is the use of the virtual dissection tables (VDT). Stecco et al [44] reported that the VDTs helped with stating a more confident diagnosis of perplexing Le Fort fractures (the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone is involved in all of the types of these fractures), compared to the single use of the standard Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Preoperational planning of a transsphenoidal surgery with the help of VDT might possibly further assist surgeons in preparation for the procedure in the nearby future, thus enabling better outcomes and quality of the surgery.…”

“…They can also make a valuable discussion about surgical cases and can make the preoperational plan. Stecco and his colleagues reported that more than 90% of participants favored Anatomage over radiology in a study to estimate the uses of Anatomage as a diagnostic tool to perform maxillofacial CT for patients with Le Fort fractures [ 35 ]. It can also be used in round meetings to facilitate the learning outcome and for the application of any novel surgical techniques.…”

Studies on human anatomy mainly depend on cadaver dissection. New technology devices have progressed to improve anatomy teaching, such as the 3D Anatomage virtual dissection table. There is a shortage and deficiency in information about the uses and benefits of the Anatomage table. The aim of this article was to review and assess the current evidence about the advantages of the Anatomage virtual table in medical education and curricula of medical courses, and its utility in diagnosis. The current study is a comprehensive systematic review. A search was conducted on online medical and scientific databases. Twenty-nine articles relevant to the content of the current research topic were selected. Based on this review, the use of the Anatomage table is valuable for anatomy learning outcomes, and most of the research supported it as an important anatomy tool in addition to cadaveric dissection. The Anatomage table in association with human dissection can improve knowledge retention of anatomy. It is an important tool for understanding organ variation. Anatomage is now considered an important tool for the educational training programs of medical students and residents and for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Anatomage can make the curriculum more interesting and valuable. Utilizing the Anatomage table can help medical and paramedical students and residents by assisting them to understand anatomy in a better way. It will also improve radiological knowledge and facilitate pre-planning for surgeries. Finally, it has a crucial role during exceptional circumstances such as pandemics.
