Temporal bone dissection is a difficult skill to acquire, and the challenge has recently been further compounded by a reduction in conventional surgical training opportunities during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Consequently, there has been renewed interest in ear simulation as an adjunct to surgical training for trainees. We review the state-of-the-art virtual temporal bone simulators for surgical training.
A narrative review of the current literature was performed following a Medline search using a pre-determined search strategy.
Sixty-one studies were included. There are five validated temporal bone simulators: Voxel-Man, CardinalSim, Ohio State University Simulator, Melbourne University's Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation and Visible Ear Simulator. The merits of each have been reviewed, alongside their role in surgical training.
Temporal bone simulators have been demonstrated to be useful adjuncts to conventional surgical training methods and are likely to play an increasing role in the future.
颞骨解剖是一项难以掌握的技能，而在 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间，传统手术培训机会减少，这一挑战最近变得更加复杂。因此，人们对耳朵模拟作为培训师手术培训的辅助手段重新产生了兴趣。我们回顾了用于手术培训的最先进的虚拟颞骨模拟器。
使用预先确定的搜索策略，对 Medline 进行了文献综述。
共纳入 61 项研究。有 5 种经过验证的颞骨模拟器：Voxel-Man、CardinalSim、俄亥俄州立大学模拟器、墨尔本大学虚拟现实手术模拟和可视耳模拟器。我们回顾了每种模拟器的优点及其在手术培训中的作用。
颞骨模拟器已被证明是传统手术培训方法的有用辅助手段，并且可能在未来发挥越来越重要的作用。
