ASGE Interventional IBD: Management of Complications | March 2022-Development and Training for Interventions in IBD - Development of Animal Model for Instestinal Strictures

Development and Training for Interventions in IBD - Development of Animal Model for Instestinal Strictures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Martin Lucas discusses the development and use of animal models for training in endoscopic procedures for intestinal stricture, specifically in the context of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). He highlights the importance of hands-on training in endoscopy, starting with theoretical knowledge and progressing to supervised training on animal models before performing procedures on real patients. Dr. Lucas explains that while small animal models have been widely used, larger animals like mini pigs are preferred due to their closer anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans. He demonstrates the process of creating and using a mini pig model for endoscopic stricturotomy, emphasizing the importance of animal welfare and ethical considerations. The video includes examples of endoscopic procedures performed on the animal model, such as stricturotomy, stent placement, and modified distal procedures. Dr. Lucas concludes by highlighting the potential benefits of using animal models in training and the need for further research and development in this field. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
