Response to the Letter to the Editor regarding “Quantitative assessment of the learning curve for cleft lip repair using LC-CUSUM”

We are very honoured by the interest elicited by our study about cleft surgery education1. Satisfactory surgical training for rare diseases is a tricky task to achieve, and many educational surgical tools, from animal models to in silico training, have been proposed in the literature2. Schendel et al. report their experience with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual simulator for training in cleft lip repair3,4. In the last few years much interest has arisen around the use of 3D modelling, virtual reality, augmented reality and 3D printing in the field of surgical education5.
