Potential for remote hands-on training system for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Hands-on training plays a crucial role in the acquisition of endoscopic skills; however, its transition to an online format has been considered challenging due to the inherently tactile and direct nature of instruction. Since 2020, we have conducted an online colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) training course, holding 9 sessions and training a total of 75 participants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of our remote hands-on training program for colorectal ESD.

Methods

Using a wired 50 Mbps connection, we linked a central facility to 3 remote sites across Japan. A 4-screen Picture-in-Picture (PinP) video integrating hand, scope, posture, and endoscopic views was streamed for real-time demonstration. Each participant und
