- Colorectal polyps are tissue projections in the large intestine, categorized as neoplastic or non-neoplastic, with early detection being crucial to prevent colorectal cancer through procedures like colonoscopy.
- The study aimed to analyze the epidemiological, endoscopic, and histological features of colorectal lesion resections at a training facility by reviewing cases from 2011 to 2014.
- Out of 678 lesions found in 456 examinations, the majority were adenomatous polyps in older adults, with most lesions located in the rectum and sigmoid, aligning with existing literature on colorectal health.
Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and effective endoscopic surgical procedure for enteral access and gastrointestinal decompression, and it is an excellent alternative to surgical gastrostomy.

This results from the fact that minimally invasive procedures present relevant contributions and promote more comfort to patients. In this context, ex vivo teaching models and virtual simulators are important tools to the safe acquisition of abilities.
