Objectives: To evaluate post-operative semicircular canal function in patients with non-vestibular schwannoma (VS) cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors by video Head Impulse Test (vHIT).
Methods: Fourteen patients with non-VS CPA tumors who underwent surgery. The gain in vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) was examined pre- and post-operatively for the semicircular canals in patients with non-VS CPA tumors.
Background: This study aims to digitalize surgical maneuvers in ESS using a motion capture system under standardized conditions provided by 3D printed-sinus models.
Methodology: Forty-seven otolaryngologists performed ESS on 3D printed models manufactured from computed tomography (CT) images of actual patients. Participants were classified to 3 groups according to the objective structured technical skills assessment score.
Comprehensive electrolyte infusions containing amino acids, including BFLUID, are a source of nosocomial infections caused by . It is recommended that clinicians finish the administration of BFLUID within 6 h; however, this recommendation currently lacks supporting empirical evidence. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the risk of infection associated with BFLUID infusion according to the administration time.

- * Seventeen otolaryngologists performed Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) on both 3D-printed models and cadavers, with their performance evaluated using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) and the time taken for procedures.
- * Results showed no significant differences in surgical scores and performance time between the two groups, indicating that 3D models are a viable and sustainable alternative for assessing surgical skills in ESS.
