  • Background:

    The surgical trainee has to acquire surgical skills in an era of reduced training hours and greater demands for efficient use of operating theatre time. Many surgical specialties are utilising model and simulation-based training to provide safe, low-pressure training opportunities for today's trainee.

    Method and results:

    This paper describes a simple, relatively inexpensive tonsillectomy model that enables the practice of tonsil removal and ligation of bleeding vessels. The model is beneficial for the patient, trainee and trainer.

    Conclusion:

    The pseudo mouth and active bleeding components of this model provide the trainee with a relatively inexpensive, realistic model with which to gain confidence and competence in the skill of ligating tonsillar blood vessels with a tonsil tie.

  • Until recently the practice of otological procedures on cadaver temporal bones was a common occurrence in otolaryngology departments. The difficulty in acquiring specimens has led to alternative techniques which involve artificial and computer-aided models. This article looks at the present situation in these rapidly developing areas and describes an artificial model developed by the senior author for training in middle-ear procedures.
