Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD): how do Western endoscopists value animal models?

CONCLUSIONS: Western endoscopists have extensive endoscopic experience before starting ESD. The majority had pre-clinical training with ex vivo and live animal models and more than half are acting as trainers of other endoscopists with these models. Animal models are considered very useful and deemed a prerequisite before clinical practice by the majority of the endoscopists. PMID: 33556257 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
