Technical skills improve after practice on virtual‐reality temporal bone simulator
TLDR
To assess whether practice on a virtual‐reality (VR) temporal bone simulator improves acquisition of technical skills in mastoid surgery, a large number of subjects were randomly assigned to a virtual reality session or a real-life scenario.
Mastoidectomy performance assessment of virtual simulation training using final‐product analysis
TLDR
The relationship between mastoidectomy final‐product performance assessment in virtual simulation and traditional dissection training is explored in temporal bone virtual surgical simulators.
The effect of self‐directed virtual reality simulation on dissection training performance in mastoidectomy
To establish the effect of self‐directed virtual reality (VR) simulation training on cadaveric dissection training performance in mastoidectomy and the transferability of skills acquired in VR…

TLDR
The traditional simulation platform is the cadaveric temporal bone, but in recent years other simulation platforms have been created, including plastic and virtual reality platforms, to enable rehearsal of surgery of the temporal bone.
Design and Evaluation of a Virtual Reality Simulation Module for Training Advanced Temporal Bone Surgery
TLDR
This paper discusses the design and evaluation of such a training module, specifically aimed at training an advanced temporal bone procedure, namely cochlear implant surgery.
The effect of fidelity: How expert behavior changes in a virtual reality environment
TLDR
Whether expert behavior changes within the virtual environment and how the fidelity of simulation affects users' behavior are investigated.
Novices perform better in virtual reality simulation than in traditional cadaveric dissection training of mastoidectomy
TLDR
Novice performance in a freeware VR temporal bone simulator was significantly better than in cadaveric dissection, suggesting simulator-integrated tutor function and reduced complexity of the procedure in VR simulation could be possible explanations for this finding.
Improving Temporal Bone Dissection Using Self-Directed Virtual Reality Simulation
TLDR
It is indicated that self-directed learning on VR simulators can be used to improve performance on cadaver dissection in novice trainees compared with traditional teaching methods alone.
Development of a virtual reality clinically oriented temporal bone anatomy module with randomised control study of three-dimensional display technology
TLDR
The developed VR temporal bone anatomy tutor was an effective self-directed education tool in facilitating spatial learning and superior user satisfaction, and display technology did not influence the majority of learning outcomes.
The Effect of a Distributed Virtual Reality Simulation Training Program on Dissection Mastoidectomy Performance.
TLDR
Skills acquired in a VR simulation environment translate to cadaveric dissection skills and repeated and distributed VR simulation can be used to further increase performance compared with standard VR simulation training during a temporal bone course.

VR to OR: A Review of the Evidence that Virtual Reality Simulation Improves Operating Room Performance
TLDR
The use of virtual reality (VR) simulation to train surgeons has been supported by a body of experimental data derived from randomized trials of VR simulation training versus no such training, which has generally demonstrated that skills acquired through courses of training in VR transfer to the clinical or animal laboratory setting.
