To the editor: Surgical methods can be learned through shared video files, but comprehending a surgeon’s intent through videos alone is difficult
21 participants were confident about intranasal antrostomy, only five physicians reported extensive canine fossa incision experience
Overall online meeting-related satisfaction was similar to the previous online lecture; 26 participants considered the elimination of travel a benefit
Summary
Surgical methods can be learned through shared video files, but comprehending a surgeon’s intent through videos alone is difficult. By conducting workshops and explaining surgical videos, research group members have worked to educate doctors about surgical techniques for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We utilized real-time surveys during the lecture and asked questions focused on participant experiences regarding surgical methods. 21 participants were confident about intranasal antrostomy, only five physicians reported extensive canine fossa incision experience.
