Virtual reality myringotomy simulation with real‐time deformation: Development and validity testing

Surgical simulation is becoming an increasingly common training tool in residency programs. The first objective was to implement real‐time soft‐tissue deformation and cutting into a virtual reality myringotomy simulator. The second objective was to test the various implemented incision algorithms to determine which most accurately represents the tympanic membrane during myringotomy.
