Herein we describe a standardized approach to teach endoscopic injection therapy to repair vesicoureteral reflux utilizing the CEVL method, an internet-accessed platform. The content was developed through collaboration of the authors' clinical and computer expertises. This application provides personnel training, examination, and procedure skill documentation through the use of online text with narration, pictures, and video. There is also included feedback and remediation of skill performance and teaching "games." We propose that such standardized teaching and procedure performance will ultimate in improved surgical results. The electronic nature of communication in this journal is ideal to rapidly disseminate this information and to develop a structure for collaborative research.

Introduction And Importance: Malignant duodenocolic fistulas are a rare but serious complication of advanced colorectal cancer. With the growing elderly population and increasing incidence of advanced colorectal cancer, there is a pressing need to explore palliative alternatives to complete resection, especially when a patient's overall health precludes extensive surgery.

Case Presentation: This case report presents a palliative approach involving luminal stent placement via gastroscopy in a patient with non-resectable, locally invasive colorectal cancer, resulting in a malignant duodenocolic fistula.
