Abstract:
Digestive endoscopy is an important approach for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract diseases. With the expansion of gastrointestinal tumor screening projects, more and more patients and asymptomatic healthy people will receive digestive endoscopy, and digestive endoscopy training has become particularly important. The traditional patient-based training mode will be replaced by more standardized training mode. Due to the objectivity, safety and economic advantages, virtual reality (VR) simulation will be helpful for promoting and perfecting the standardized training mode of digestive endoscopists in China. This article reviewed the application, research progress, advantages, current limitations, and potential prospects of VR technique in the digestive endoscopy training.
