Abstract：Objectiv To report authors'experience with the Voxel-man ENT surgery simulation system in lateral skull base surgery training.Methods Thirty residents and fellows received anatomical and microsurgery training of lat-eral skull base approaches using the virtual reality surgery simulation system for 1 hour daily for 8 weeks.Test scores before and after training were compared by paired t-test using the SPSS 26.0 and Graphpad Prism 9 software.Results After 8 weeks of training,test scores on related anatomy and surgical procedures significantly improved as compared with before training(P<0.05).Conclusion The Voxel-man ENT virtual reality surgery simulation system can help im-prove training outcomes in trainees of various baseline surgical skill levels in their lateral skull base surgery knowledge and skills with shortened initial learning curve.Its broad adoption in clinical train may be worth consideration.
