Hand Motion Analysis Using Accelerometer-Based Sensors and Sheep's Head Model for Basic Training in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Introduction:  Motion analysis, the study of movement patterns to evaluate performance, plays a crucial role in surgical training. It provides objective data that can be used to assess and improve trainee's precision, efficiency, and overall surgical technique. The primary aim of this study is to employ accelerometer-based sensors placed on the wrist to analyze hand motions during endoscopic sinus surgery training using the sheep's head.

Exploring the Ovine Anatomy: A Comprehensive Study of the Sheep's Head for Basic Training in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Introduction: Training young doctors in functional endoscopic sinus surgery requires dedicated centers for cadaveric dissections. However, ethical constraints have limited cadaver availability. Alternative anatomical models, like the ovine model, are being explored for effective training, offering easier procurement and resembling human head anatomy.

Sheep's Head as an Anatomic Model for Basic Training in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

: 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. : 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.

Can Non-Virtual Reality Simulation Improve Surgical Training in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery? A Literature Review.

Simulation in endoscopic sinus surgery allows residents to learn anatomy, to achieve the correct handling of various rhinological instruments, and to practice different surgical procedures. Physically or non-virtual reality models are the main items in endoscopic sinus surgery simulation. The objective of this review is to identify and make a descriptive analysis of non-virtual endoscopic sinus surgery simulators which have been proposed for training.
