Otology Dry Bone Temporal Bone Dissection Courses

Course outline:

This course offers an exciting opportunity for operative simulation training in Otology skills. Participants will use temporal bone drilling equipment on a physical dry bone model. During a 3-hour session, you will practice surgical techniques involved in cortical mastoidectomy, mastoid exploration, and canal wall up/down mastoid surgery.

Expected experience:

The Otology Dry Bone Temporal Bone Dissection Course is designed for learners with prior experience in mastoid surgery and temporal bone drilling. You may also attend this course without prior experience, but we would normally recommend you book onto our Otology Digital Temporal Bone Dissection Courses before progressing onto this Dry Bone Course. This sequence allows learners to achieve a secure grasp of the complexities of temporal bone anatomy, and refine their drilling skills on a digital model, before working with consumable models.
