Abstract
For surgical training of transnasal pituitary and clivus surgery, we had introduced a three-dimensional model of nasal and paranasal sinus. This model is consist of several segment and different materials are used. Nose and paranasal sinus containing the anterior skull base are basically made by glass and nylon resembling a texture of the bone. On the other hand, lateral structure of the nasal cavity, that is, inferior and middle turbinates are made by silicone rubber. These parts are coupled and finally, the real training model was made. This model has real touches of nasal and paranasal sinus and may facilitates surgical training for both pituitary and clivus surgeries.
