Abstract
Objective: Validate a simulator for training and learning tympanotomy and ventilation tube insertion in the Otorhinolaryngology residency. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study through the evaluation of the simulator by 16 otolaryngologists and 12 residents in Otorhinolaryngology using a form adapted to the Michigan Standard Simulation Experience Scale (MiSSES). Results: The simulator was positively evaluated by expert judges (91.46%) and resident doctors (93.61%), with an overall average score of 8.94 and 9.17, respectively. The points with the lowest agreement among experts were: interface (85.42%), aesthetic evaluation (85.42%) and presence of anatomical references (83.33%). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.79 among specialists and the degree of satisfaction with the training was high with 92.48% agreement among resident doctors. Conclusion: The tympanotomy and insertion of ventilation simulator was validated by expert judges and resident doctors and, together with theoretical-practical training, constitutes an enhanced educational tool for the development of surgical skills in Otorhinolaryngology.
