1. An evaluation model for endoscopic endonasal surgery, the evaluation model comprising:
a simulated head part; and
a distortion sensor, wherein:
the simulated head part includes a simulated cranium part,
the simulated cranium part includes a simulated nasal cavity,
the simulated cranium part includes a simulated nasal septum, a simulated paranasal sinus, and a simulated cribriform plate,
the simulated nasal cavity includes a simulated superior turbinate, a simulated middle turbinate, and a simulated inferior turbinate, and
the distortion sensor is arranged at least one site selected from the group consisting of the simulated superior turbinate, the simulated middle turbinate, the simulated inferior turbinate, the simulated nasal septum, the simulated paranasal sinus and the simulated cribriform plate.
