Cadaveric surgical training (CST) has several benefits, including the opportunity to learn common surgical dissections in real scale (3D), hands-on experience with surgical methods, and the capacity to learn non-surgical dissections that are not evident in actual clinical practice. Employing cadavers in surgical training is a highly helpful training strategy because it enables routine clinical practice monitoring of areas outside the operative field. Understanding of the impact of laryngeal framework compression and displacement on the vocal folds during laryngeal framework surgery allows for a better understanding of the fundamental ideas and mechanisms of the surgery. In transoral endoscopic and robotic surgery, CST provides an efficient way to learn the inside-out anatomy of the laryngopharynx and the surgical methods unique to these surgeries. Additionally, it is thought to be crucial for pre- and post-graduate education and recruitment.
