“…Improvements in skills such as total time and clean surface area monitored by endoscopists were The annual cost of the simulation-based intervention was $112,000, reducing the net savings from lower CLABSI rates to about $700,000 (18). Although there are studies evaluating simulation-based surgical assistant training in the literature, we have not encountered both a qualitative and quantitative evaluation (19,20,21). In this sense, we find it meaningful to support our study with qualitative data.…”

Background: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the contribution of video-endoscopy simulation for the development of gastroscopy and colonoscopy skills of residents in surgical resident training, using qualitative and quantitative methods. Materials and Methods:Sixteen novice surgeons were trained with an endoscopic virtual reality simulator. Ten colonoscopy and 10 gastroscopy cases were overviewed in this training. Three hundred-twenty gastroscopy and colonoscopy simulation modules were evaluated. Continious variables are presented as median and interquartile range. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to detect changes during the training. For the qualitative data of the study, in-depth interviews were conducted with the residents who completed the modules. At the end of the interviews, the answers were documented directly in the same day. The themes and subthemes related to the content were determined by two medical evaluators.Results: A significant improvement was observed both in colonoscopy and gastroscopy modules. While the time to reach the cecum in the colonoscopy module decreased from 20 minutes to 3 minutes on average, and the time to reach the duodenum in gastroscopy from 4 minutes to 3.6 minutes. The percentage of mucosal surface examined increased both in gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The time spent to obtain quality images did not change in gastroscopy, but there was an obvious increase in colonoscopy. The percentage of effective usage of the screen increased both in gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Qualitative data proved that all participants were satisfied by the training and benefited from it. Conclusion:The results of our study indicate the importance and advantage of the utilization of simulators in trainings that require interventional skills, before patient encounter. It has been shown that video-endoscopy simulation supports the dexterity of residents in gastroscopy and colonoscopy applications.

“…Of course, such models are not without flaws: to begin with, the VR model's diseases are limited, focusing primarily on routine examinations, endoscopic haemostasis, and closed perforation, such as easy operation training; nevertheless, it is difficult to replicate some challenging operations, such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) ( 22 ). Furthermore, while such training is beneficial to beginning endoscopists, it does not raise the level of senior endoscopists ( 23 , 24 ). As shown, the current generation of endoscopic simulators only offers basic training for endoscopists and is unable to replicate more complex surgical procedures, such as EMR, ESD or other treatment procedures ( 25 ), which significantly restricts the development of endoscopists.…”

2021 is known as the first Year of the Metaverse, and around the world, internet giants are eager to devote themselves to it. In this review, we will introduce the concept, current development, and application of the Metaverse and the use of the current basic technologies in the medical field, such as virtual reality and telemedicine. We also probe into the new model of gastroenterology in the future era of the Metaverse.

“…Los datos de este trabajo se volcaron en un estudio de tipo "antes-después" sobre 126 alumnos, que se presentó en la DDW 2020 y fue publicado luego en la revista Digestive Diseases and Sciences. 7 También se realizaron dos jornadas de Hands On, a fines del 2019, para los alumnos de la escuela en el Hospital de Clínicas y en la Fundación Favaloro, que se interrumpieron por la pandemia de covid-19. Esperamos el momento adecuado para retomar las actividades presenciales.…”
