Validation of a 3D-printed human temporal bone model for otology surgical skill training

Hypothesis: Three-dimensional (3D) printed temporal bones are comparable to cadaveric temporal bones as a training tool for otologic surgery. Background: Cadaveric temporal bone dissection is an integral part of otology surgical training. Unfortunately, availability of cadaveric temporal bones is be...

They were asked to complete a series of otologic procedures using 3D-printed temporal bones. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to evaluate their dissection experience on the 3D-printed temporal bones.
