    A surgical endoscopy unit provides adequate training for residents and supports cancer screening programs. The service volume is sufficient for competency in procedures like colonoscopies and gastroscopies.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Endoscopy
    • Medical Training
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • American Board of Surgery mandates familiarity with endoscopic procedures.
    • Establishment of a surgical endoscopy unit at a VA Medical Center.
    • Need to evaluate the unit's experience and training capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Review the VA Medical Center's 2.5-year experience with its surgical endoscopy unit.
    • Assess the adequacy of case volume for resident training.
    • Evaluate the impact of the unit on cancer screening and endoscopic applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of procedures performed between July 1982 and December 1984.
    • Analysis of procedure types: Colonoscopies (C), Gastroscopies (G), Flexible Sigmoidoscopies (S), and Choledochoscopies (CD).

  • Assessment of surgical resident training duration and competency acquisition.

    • Main Results:

    • Procedure volume increased significantly from 212 (Year 1) to 564 (Year 2), averaging 45 procedures/month.
    • Surgical residents achieved technical and diagnostic competency in 2-4 months.
    • The unit supported cancer screening programs and expanded indications for fiberoptic endoscopy.

    Conclusions:

    • The established surgical endoscopy unit demonstrates adequate case volume for resident training.
    • The unit effectively supports cancer screening and broader applications of endoscopy.
    • Future plans include introducing variceal sclerotherapy and ERCP.
