“…Endoscopic skills have been more recently considered part of required general surgery curricula and syllabi in Western European countries; yet, clinical practice remains limited as curricula differs from one country to another, and no consensus has been met (62). Although interventional gastroenterologists and surgeons in Sweden and Poland have been sharing endoscopic activities almost equally, endoscopic practice is mostly undertaken by gastroenterologists in France, Belgium, and in the Netherlands (63).…”

The expanding role of flexible endoscopy (FE) has helped to establish better diagnostic strategies and fewer invasive therapies within the lumen of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Endoscopic skills represent critical tools for surgeons since they markedly impact perioperative outcomes. Although it is widely recognized that endoscopy plays a key role in digestive surgery, endoscopic curricula and syllabi may vary depending on geographical regions, which have their own standardized guidelines such as the United States and countries with numerous disparities such as Western Europe. Such heterogeneous practices represent a call for action, particularly as surgical societies aim to expand cutting-edge endoscopy within surgery. This article outlines the crucial role of intraoperative endoscopy in commonly performed digestive surgeries and stresses the need to develop standardized endoscopic training curricula in surgery, particularly in Europe.

“…In the present work, we explored viable rapid prototyping solutions for the abovementioned limitations of the current state-of-the-art devices. The aim was to design an affordable instrument based on the combination of flexible endoscopic technology with laparoscopic elements to allow for a novel approach in interventional endoscopy using minimally invasive surgical concepts [29][30][31][32][33]. To achieve this, we relied on rapid prototyping methodologies to develop an affordable prototype instrument tailored for use in interventional therapeutic endoscopic procedures.…”

(1) Background: Interventional endoscopic procedures are growing more popular, requiring innovative instruments and novel techniques. Three-dimensional printing has demonstrated great potential for the rapid development of prototypes that can be used for the early assessment of various concepts. In this work, we present the development of a flexible endoscopic instrument and explore its potential benefits. (2) Methods: The properties of the instrument, such as its maneuverability, flexibility, and bending force, were evaluated in a series of bench tests. Additionally, the effectiveness of the instrument was evaluated in an ex vivo porcine model by medical experts, who graded its properties and performance. Furthermore, the time necessary to complete various interventional endoscopic tasks was recorded. (3) Results: The instrument achieved bending angles of ±216° while achieving a bending force of 7.85 (±0.53) Newtons. The time needed to reach the operating region was 120 s median, while it took 70 s median to insert an object in a cavity. Furthermore, it took 220 s median to insert the instrument and remove an object from the cavity. (4) Conclusions: This study presents the development of a flexible endoscopic instrument using three-dimensional printing technology and its evaluation. The instrument demonstrated high bending angles and forces, and superior properties compared to the current state of the art. Furthermore, it was able to complete various interventional endoscopic tasks in minimal time, thus potentially leading to the improved safety and effectiveness of interventional endoscopic procedures in the future.
