| [ Summary ] |
To safely perform ESD procedures it is necessary to receive correct endoscopic training. Our training systems, consisting of an introduction method and a Step-up system were useful and effective. This training system should include not only the learning of endoscopic techniques, but also learning how to diagnose before as well as after procedures. |
