Summary

The harvested porcine organ model offers the most realistic training for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. It is considered superior for both basic and advanced ERCP instruction compared to live pigs or simulators.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Multiple training models exist for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
  • Existing models include live anesthetized pigs, harvested porcine organs, and computer simulators.
  • A direct comparison of these ERCP teaching models has been lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the performance and realism of three distinct ERCP teaching models.
  • To evaluate computer simulators, harvested porcine organs, and live anesthetized pigs as ERCP training modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty endoscopists evaluated each of the three ERCP training models.
  • Participants completed surveys assessing realism, performance, educational utility, and ease of use.

  • Models were ranked based on their effectiveness for ERCP training.

    • Main Results:

    • The harvested porcine organ model demonstrated the highest realism and performance.
    • The computer simulator scored lower in realism but was rated highest for ease of incorporation into training.
    • Statistical significance was reached for the harvested porcine organ model's ease of use (p < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • The harvested porcine organ model is considered the most realistic and favorable for ERCP training.
    • This model is recommended for both fundamental and advanced Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography instruction.
    • While computer simulators offer ease of integration, porcine organs provide superior realism.
