Purpose: Current training methods for surgical trainees are inadequate because they are costly, low-fidelity, or have a low skill ceiling. This work aims to expand available virtual reality training options by developing a VR trainer for straight coloanal anastomosis (SCA), one of the Colorectal Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (COSATS) tasks.
Methods: We developed a VR-based SCA simulator to evaluate trainees based on their performance.

Successful cecal intubation is crucial in ensuring a complete evaluation of the colonic mucosa. Although completion of colonoscopies should be successful in close to 100% of all examinations in the hands of experienced gastroenterologists, there are some patients with colons which can be difficult to navigate. Factors such as older age, presence of diverticular disease, as well as high or low body mass index can present challenges for endoscopists.

Colonoscopy, the gold standard for early detection of colorectal cancer, may miss polyps especially those hidden behind folds. This prospective study compared polyp detection and performance of a novel colonoscope with extra-wide field of view (EFOV) of 230 degrees (partially retrograde) to a standard colonoscope (SC, 170 degrees) in a colon model. A 3D printed colon model was used featuring 12 polyps placed throughout different colon segments, with several located on the proximal side of haustral folds.

Background: In standard colonoscopic examinations, some polyps may be missed during the withdrawal phase. Re-examination of the right colon can improve the adenoma detection rate (ADR). However, the effectiveness of applying this re-examination strategy to the entire colon remains unknown.
