Martin %A Gibber, Marc %D 2022 %T Development of a Low Cost, Renewable Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Skills Trainer (ESSST) %K %X While otolaryngology (ORL) bootcamps are being increasingly utilized for resident education, many simulators are prohibitively expensive or complicated to construct. We constructed and validated a novel low cost and low fidelity endoscopic sinus surgery skills trainer (ESSST). After construction, participants were divided into 3 groups based on endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) experience. The study participants were asked to perform 3 tasks. Their performance was videotaped and subsequently blindly evaluated by two rhinologists. Each task was scored based on performance and economy of motion using a standard scoring sheet. A one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Tukey Tests were used to determine if there was a significant difference in performance of the 3 groups. The data suggests that skill and experience with ESS directly translates to the simulator, supporting that the ESSST is low cost, validated, renewable and a useful adjunct to higher fidelity simulators. %U https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/3093 %J Medical Research Archives %0 Journal Article %R 10.18103/mra.v10i10.3093 %V 10 %N 10 %@ 2375-1924 %8 2022-10-31
