Does the visual system affect the learning curve of the Otosurgeon? A cadaveric study comparing microscopy vs exoscopy
The choice between microscope and exoscope should be guided by the specific surgical demands, educational context, and preferences of the team. While the microscope excels in flexibility, the exoscope provides advantages in structural identification and collaborative learning, making it a valuable tool in ear surgery. This study contributes valuable insights for otological surgeons and educators to optimize surgical outcomes and learning experiences of trainees.
