Evaluating the impact of a hand-crafted 3D-Printed head Model and virtual reality in skull base surgery training

Virtual reality and 3D-printed models enhance anatomical understanding and surgical training in skull base surgery. These tools offer a cost-effective, realistic, and accessible alternative to cadaveric training, though further refinement in soft tissue realism is needed.

Abstract

Virtual reality and 3D-printed models enhance anatomical understanding and surgical training in skull base surgery. These tools offer a cost-effective, realistic, and accessible alternative to cadaveric training, though further refinement in soft tissue realism is needed.
