Lars Konge
Surgical simulation - Why and How?
Patients should not bear the burden of new surgical trainees' learning curves and many resources have been spent on advanced surgical simulators in the past decade. However, expensive equipment is NOT enough to ensure competent surgeons - simulators should be integrated in complete curricula and it is essential that these are developed based on best available evidence.

Steven A. W. Andersen
Evidence for VR simulation training of mastoidectomy and considerations for organization of training.
A brief overview of current evidence for VR simulation training in temporal bone surgery including discussion on
- transfer of skills to dissection training
- the importance of structured and distributed practice and integration into training curriculum
- the value of directed, self-regulated learning and consequences for instructional design
- why cognitive load is important to consider in technical skills training

Daniel Sieber
Virtual Reality in a Cochlear Implant Training Program
Training of all involved players has become one of the major challenges in global success of hearing implants. To be able to address the growing need for training of surgeons and surgical staff, MED-EL has established a dedicated training program and facilities. Virtual Reality Simulation plays a key role in teaching anatomy and surgical technique for cochlea and middle ear implants. Projection of surgical simulation into the binoculars of fully digital operation microscopes and a library of training anatomies have further pushed the limits of what can be achieved with surgical simulation training.

Mads Sølvsten Sørensen
High fidelity, more repetitions and gamification - better surgical simulation training?
Current VR simulators can teach novice surgeons basic skills in ear surgery, but true surgical proficiency may require a higher competency level. This presentation will illustrate the problem and discuss some of the technical candidate solutions with special reference to the VES3.

Andreas Pommert
10 Years of Experience with the Voxel-Man ENT Simulator – What have we learned?
When the decision was made to convert a laboratory project into a marketable product, many points were rather unclear. Is there a market? What do the clients expect? Will the system prove useful? These and some other questions that we hadn’t thought of at the beginning will be discussed in the lecture.
