Endoscopic Training Simulator. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 84
Surgeons require considerable practice and time to
become competent in endoscopy. Traditionally, the
procedure has been taught at the expense of patient
comfort and safety, as residents have performed the
surgery under the supervision of physicians.
Patients who undergo endoscopies performed by
students, particularly early in the residency, have
been more likely to suffer discomfort and prolonged
procedures. Therefore, using simulators become a
promising alternative for the endoscopic training
process. Our approach is to integrate a realistic
mechanical model with the newly developed computer
software to create a computer-based simulator for
upper endoscopy training. The simulator covers the
basics of flexible endoscopy and helps the student
the skills required to perform an upper endoscopy.
This book will benefit medical educators by
providing them with an additional approach to train
medical students in surgery.
