Bridging the Gap in Rhinoplasty Training: The Effectiveness of 3D Printed Models in Surgical Education

The 3D rhinoplasty models showed good content, face, and criterion validity, objectively improving residents' surgical performance. Rhinoplasty 3D models may serve as a precadaveric training adjunct, equipping trainees with fundamental skills before cadaveric dissection, or as a primary training modality in countries with limited cadaver access. Therefore the models offer an innovative approach to training the next generation of rhinoplasty surgeons.

Abstract

The 3D rhinoplasty models showed good content, face, and criterion validity, objectively improving residents' surgical performance. Rhinoplasty 3D models may serve as a precadaveric training adjunct, equipping trainees with fundamental skills before cadaveric dissection, or as a primary training modality in countries with limited cadaver access. Therefore the models offer an innovative approach to training the next generation of rhinoplasty surgeons.
