Management of colonoscopic perforation: a systematic review and treatment algorithm.

Background: The aim of this review is to evaluate and summarize the current strategies used in the management of colonoscopic perforations as well as propose a modern treatment algorithm.

Methods: Articles published between January 2004 and January 2019 were screened. A total of 167 reports were identified in combined literature search, of which 61 articles were selected after exclusion of duplicate and unrelated articles.

Computer-based virtual reality colonoscopy simulation improves patient-based colonoscopy performance.

Background: Colonoscopy simulators that enable one to perform computer-based virtual colonoscopy now exist. However, data regarding the effectiveness of this virtual training are limited.

Objective: To determine whether virtual reality simulator training translates into improved patient-based colonoscopy performance.
