  Simulated training platforms offer a suitable avenue for surgical students
and professionals to build and improve upon their skills, without the hassle of
traditional training methods. To enhance the degree of realistic interaction
paradigms of training simulators, great work has been done to both model
simulated anatomy in more realistic fashion, as well as providing appropriate
haptic feedback to the trainee. As such, this chapter seeks to discuss the
ongoing research being conducted on haptic feedback-incorporated simulators
specifically for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). This chapter offers a brief
comparative analysis of some EES simulators, in addition to a deeper
quantitative and qualitative look into our approach to designing and
prototyping a complete virtual-based haptic EES training platform.
