Wenbo Meng et al. Impact of mechanical simulator practice on clinical ERCP performance by novice surgical trainees: a randomized controlled trial

The impact of practice with an ERCP mechanical simulator was assessed in a randomized controlled trial in novice surgical trainees learning how to perform ERCP. In 12 trainees who undertook 300 ERCPs, shorter learning curves and better selective biliary cannulation rates were observed, an effect that may be sustained in the early months of practice.
