Abstract

Objective: To develop and pilot test a 3D-printed human laryngeal model designed for laryngeal framework surgery training, aimed at enhancing the skills of ENT specialists and residents.

Methods

Design: Surgical Innovation

Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital

Participants: Consultants and Residents of the Department of ORL-HNS

Results: This surgical innovation described the step-by-step production of a 3D-printed human larynx which was used as a model for an advanced laryngeal workshop by ENT residents, consultants, and phonosurgeons. It was evaluated to be easy to use and effective in simulating different laryngeal framework surgeries such as Isshiki Thyroplasty Types I to IV.

Conclusion: The 3D-printed human larynx may be used as a tool for laryngeal framework surgery training during workshops for ENT specialists.
