Objectives: Virtual reality (VR) appears to be a promising educational tool for otorhinolaryngology (ORL) residency training, as it allows for safe and effective practice immediate feedback and potential improvements in patient outcomes. Despite these advantages, VR has not yet been incorporated into residency training in ORL, which may be due to limited availability or validation and skepticism toward incorporation of new training methods. This study investigates whether a VR model of the temporal bone improves learning success for ORL residents in comparison to standard plastic models and whether it depends on surgeon's experience.

- - Objective: There's an ongoing debate about which rhinosurgical procedures should be done on an outpatient basis versus inpatient, highlighting a lack of clarity, especially about nasal packing materials.
- - Material and Methods: A checklist was created to help categorize sinunasal procedures into inpatient or outpatient based on current research and identified risk factors.
- - Results and Conclusions: The study identifies specific sinunasal procedures best suited for inpatient treatment and provides a thorough checklist to guide decisions on procedure type and patient discharge readiness.
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by local chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and paranasal sinuses. It affects approximately 5% of the population.
Methods: This review is based on relevant publications retrieved by a selective search of the literature, with particular attention to current national and international guidelines.
Background: Digital transformation in curricular teaching in medicine comprises the use of digital teaching and learning formats as well as the transfer of digital skills for medical staff. Concepts of knowledge transfer and competency profiles also have to be adapted and transferred in advanced training due to necessary changes.
Objective: The aim of this study was an evaluation of the current state of digital transformation in otorhinolaryngology teaching in undergraduate and advanced training at otorhinolaryngology departments of university medical centers in Germany.
