New training models enhance surgeon skills with fiberoptic choledochoscopes. These models offer a cost-effective and ethical alternative to animal testing for surgical practice.

Area of Science:

Surgical Education
Medical Device Training

Background:

Fiberoptic choledochoscopy is a crucial surgical technique.
Developing practical skills requires effective training methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate novel training models for fiberoptic choledochoscope skills.
To provide a safe and reproducible platform for surgical training.

Main Methods:

Development of two distinct practical training models.
Demonstration of Olympus, Pentax, and American ACMI fiberoptic scopes using the models.
Assessment of surgeon comfort and proficiency in instrument manipulation.

Main Results:

Models facilitate surgeon familiarity with fiberoptic choledochoscope manipulation.

Related Experiment Videos

Successful demonstration across multiple fiberoptic scope brands.

Training models provide a viable alternative to animal use.

Conclusions:

These models offer an effective, ethical, and cost-efficient method for surgical skill development.
Training with these models prepares surgeons for intraoperative choledochoscopy.
