Summary: | Endonasal surgeries are among the most common procedures performed in otolaryngology. Due to difficulty in cadaver acquisition and the intrinsic risks of training residents during operations on real patients, nasosinusal endoscopic dissection courses utilizing real simulators, such as the Sinus Model Otorhino Neuro Trainer are being developed as a new technique to facilitate the acquisition of better anatomical knowledge and surgical skill.
To evaluate the efficacy of nasosinusal endoscopic dissection courses with the Sinus Model Otorhino Neuro Trainer simulator in the training of otolaryngology surgeons.
A prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted with 111 otolaryngologists who participated in a theoretical and practical course of endoscopic surgery dissection using the Sinus Model Otorhino Neuro Trainer simulator, with application of questionnaires during and after the course.
From the ten procedures performed utilizing the simulator, the evaluation revealed mean scores from 3.1 to 4.1 (maximum of 5). Seventy-seven participants answered the questionnaire six months after the end of the course. 93% of them reported that they could perform the procedures more safely following the course, 98% reported an improvement in their anatomical and clinical knowledge, and 85% related an improvement in their surgical ability. After the course, the number of endoscopic surgeries increased in 40% of the respondents.
Endoscopic sinus dissection courses using the Sinus Model Otorhino Neuro Trainer simulator proved to be useful in the training of otolaryngologists.
Cirurgias endonasais são as cirurgias mais realizadas na otorrinolaringologia. Devido à dificuldade de adquirir cadáveres e ao risco inerente em realizar treinamento em pacientes reais, cursos de dissecção endoscópica nasossinusal em simuladores reais, como o sinus model otorhino – neuro trainer – S.I.M.O.N.T, são uma nova proposta de aquisição de maior conhecimento anatômico e habilidades cirúrgicas.
Avaliar a eficácia dos cursos de dissecção de cirurgia endoscópica nasossinusal com simulador S.I.M.O.N.T. no treinamento de cirurgiões otorrinolaringologistas.
Estudo de coorte contemporâneo longitudinal com 111 otorrinolaringologistas que participaram de curso teórico – prático de dissecção endoscópica nasossinusal em simulador real S.I.M.O.N.T., com aplicação de questionários durante e após a realização do curso.
Dos dez procedimentos realizados no simulador, a avaliação apontou para médias de notas que variaram de 3,1 a 4,1 (máximo de 5). Setenta e sete participantes responderam a avaliação 6 meses após o curso. Declararam que houve aumento da segurança após o curso, 93% dos mesmos; 98% disseram ter aumentado o conhecimento anátomo-clinico e 85% declararam um aumento da habilidade cirúrgica. Quarenta por cento aumentaram o número de cirurgias endonasais após o curso.
Cursos de dissecção de cirurgia endonasais com simulador real S.I.M.O.N.T. mostraram ser úteis para o treinamento de otorrinolaringologistas. |
