Preliminary exploration on the teaching methods in endoscopic endonasal lacrimal surgery training for ophthalmologists / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

The extensive application of transnasal endoscopy for the treatment of rhino-orbital related diseases re-quires ophthalmologists to master the skill in lacrimal surgery. Unlike other ocular surgeries,endoscopic endonasal procedures needs a well understanding of the anatomical structures inside the nose as well as the skilled use of en-doscopes,which makes the training more specialized and difficult. The step-by-step mode combined with other learning methods is designed to enhance surgical skills and shorten the learning time during residency and fellowship training. It is anticipated to back up the minimally invasive and precise targeting therapy for lacrimal dis-eases.
