Unfortunately, due to their high price, commercial simulators are hard to obtain, especially for small medical centers. However, a solution might be to construct a device for themselves.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Aim\u2002Our goal was to build a relatively cheap and easy-to-construct simulator for residents who want to start learning colonoscopy.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Materials and methods\u2002The box model colonoscopy trainer was designed and constructed. The artificial colon was made from 2 layers of fabric and rubber rings between them. Velcro attached to the artificial colon and to the box, and the tarp straps that simulate peritoneal adhesions allow the bowel to be arranged in many different configurations. Moreover, some aspects of polypectomy training have been incorporated in the colonoscopy simulator.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2002The self-constructed simulator was found to be an effective training device, with the total cost of parts not exceeding $30.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2002In this paper, we present the first homemade simulator for colonoscopy training. It offers the opportunity for skills acquisition in a preclinical setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-117186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,11]],"date-time":"2017-10-11T22:32:47Z","timestamp":1507761167000},"page":"1004-1008","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The first homemade colonoscopy trainer"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Dominik","family":"Walczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery, Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Grajek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery, Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulina","family":"Walczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Medical University of Silesia, Bytom, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Tuliszka-Go\u0142owkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, John Paul II Memorial Hospital in Be\u0142chatow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roman","family":"Massopust","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, John Paul II Memorial Hospital in Be\u0142chatow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dariusz","family":"Pawe\u0142czak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Surgery, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zbigniew","family":"Pasieka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Surgery, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Krakowczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery, Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Maciejewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery, Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,11]]},"container-title":["Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Gastroenterologie"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0043-117186.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T13:06:20Z","timestamp":1513688780000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0043-117186"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,11]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0043-117186","relation":{},"ISSN":["0044-2771","1439-7803"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0044-2771","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-7803","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}}}
