Animal models for endoscopic simulation

Mihir S Wagh et al. Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Animal models for GI endoscopy are a safe, reliable, and reproducible method for teaching diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and for developing techniques that have the potential to advance GI endoscopy. Although these methods never can replace human endoscopy as a modality for endoscopic training, animal models may serve as an adjunct to standard endoscopic training and safely enhance the hands-on experience.
