Book Chapter Description

Cleft lip and palate surgery is technically challenging to perform with a steep learning curve. Surgical simulators provide a platform to practice surgical procedures to gain experience and competence before operating on patients. Cleft simulators have been developed for this purpose and now have the fidelity necessary to allow practicing cleft palate and lip repairs from start to finish in highly realistic physical environments. Cleft simulators are also conducive to implementing tools to assess surgical performance. The simulators and assessment tools allow implementation of training and educational programs that can provide objective measures of performance. They also provide a platform for implementing unique educational strategies that can be adopted within international environments.
