摘要：
An otologic surgical skills training method and system include a housing that receives a removably attachable simulated ear canal working port for practicing transcanal surgery skills, and a second larger working port for practicing otologic surgery skills with lower spatial constraints. The training system may be 3D printed. Dimensions of the system provide an appropriate working distance for otologic surgery simulation. Surgical instruments such as endoscopic and microscopic instruments are received via the working port to reach an otologic surgery skill exercise module. The exercise module may be attached to a platform fixed in the housing or is configured within a self-contained working port. Exercises include placing rings on pegs, stacking nuts, placing beads onto a wire, and navigating a maze with a bead, and allow for practicing with minimal depth perception, placing prostheses at a variety of angles, prostheses soft release, and instrument feel and control.
