The Locally Driven Temporal Bone Dissection Laboratory: A Sustainable Tool for Otologic Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa
This study highlights that the training has been both feasible for and desired by participants, and has addressed critical needs in continued surgical training. Temporal bone dissection labs are a feasible and highly desired model to increase the otologic capacity of practicing otolaryngologists regionally and offer a promising approach for addressing the lack of training opportunities in the region.
