We have developed a low cost, 3D printed nasal osteotomy model to allow attendings and residents to practice this procedure and gain tactile, interactive experience. In this simulation session, participants will first undergo a small didactic portion of the course. After discussing the risks and benefits of medial and lateral nasal osteotomies, the correct approach and technique will be demonstrated. The floor will be opened to questions and discussion. Lastly, participants will have the opportunity to practice medial and lateral osteotomies on a 3D model and receive feedback from the presenters.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the relevant anatomy and indications for nasal osteotomy
Explain the risk and benefits for medial and lateral nasal osteotomy
Demonstrate the correct approach and technique for medial and lateral osteotomy
