Validation of a training simulator for temporomandibular joint arthroscopy.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg

October 2024

Fundación para el estudio y desarrollo de la implantología, cirugía oral y maxilofacial, Badajoz, Spain.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy simulator using construct and face analyses.

Methods: Thirty participants attending a TMJ training course were divided into novice and expert surgeons (more than 100 procedures) and performed two arthroscopic tasks (cavity access/cavity exploration) during which the surgical tool movements were tracked. Five objective metrics were used to measure surgeon ability and construct validity was assessed by comparing novel and expert performance.

Background: Complete transperitoneal nephroureterectomy (CTNU) in a single-position is an advanced surgical technique for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), performed entirely through a transperitoneal approach without the need for patient repositioning. Indocyanine green (ICG) has been extensively studied in urologic surgery, with applications ranging from sentinel lymph node mapping to tumor localization. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of retrograde ureteral fluorescence imaging in CTNU.
