Overall, 32 residents completed the simulation exercise of cleft surgery on the model. Participants gave the model an average score of 4 (\u00b10.60) for realistic anatomical appearance, 3.5 (\u00b11.3) for replicating the tactile nature of human tissue. Anatomical accuracy and ability to manipulate tissue and perform suturing received a rating of 3.4 (\u00b11.1) and 3.7 (\u00b10.81), respectively. The model's value as a training tool scored 4.4 (\u00b10.51), with an overall satisfaction rating of 4.6 (\u00b10.22) among residents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our cleft palate model offers an economical, practical, and accessible solution for surgical training.
