Practicing complex gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques on animal models can improve skills. This training is recommended before patient procedures to enhance patient care and reduce risks.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy involves complex procedures with inherent risks.
  • Limited clinical case exposure and emergency practice scenarios hinder comprehensive training.
  • Ethical considerations and patient safety necessitate effective training methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of animal models in training for advanced gastrointestinal endoscopic techniques.
  • To evaluate the impact of simulation-based training on skill acquisition and clinical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on animal models for training in hemostasis, endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic submucosal dissection.
  • Emphasis on the use of ex vivo models for initial training before progressing to in vivo models.
