Background: Endoscopic ultrasound training has a learning curve greater than the other endoscopic therapeutic techniques.One of the preclinical teaching methods is the use of ex vivo porcine models. Aim: To describe five ex vivo porcine modelsfor training in therapeutic echoendoscopic procedures. Materials and methods: Using porcine digestive tract containingesophagus, stomach, duodenum, spleen, liver and gallbladder, five models for therapeutic echoendoscopy training weredescribed. With other segments of the porcine pieces (such as the bladder, spleen segment and omentum segment) andwith easily accessible materials (such as grape and ultrasound gel), lesions were simulated to be treated. These models wereapplied in the Hands on course at the IRCAD (Institut de recherche contre les cancers de l'appareil digestif) Barretos of2017. Endoscopic equipment and instruments are the same as those...

Teaching models in endoscopy are important tools to minimize risks derived from endoscopic procedures, taking into account that therapeutic endoscopy, also known as surgical endoscopy, has greatly developed during the last decade. This results from the fact that minimally invasive procedures present relevant contributions and promote more comfort to patients. In this context, ex vivo teaching models and virtual simulators are important tools to the safe acquisition of abilities. In this article, the Brazilian Society of Digestive Endoscopy presents and describes its first course of therapeutic ERCP and EUS in models of laboratory teaching.
