This paper describes a computer system for teaching temporal bone surgery using networked haptic workbenches. The system enables an instructor and student to collaboratively explore and drill a volumetric bone model including significant anatomical features. Subjective evaluations by otologists have been favourable, and experimental trials are planned.
