Core Tip

Core Tip: Virtual reality (VR) is a promising tool in endoscopy training. This systematic review assessed VR's effectiveness and feasibility. Sixteen articles were analyzed, with 15 reporting positive results. VR training enhanced endoscopy skills, reducing procedure time and increasing accuracy in both VR scenarios and real patients. Patient discomfort also decreased significantly. VR training is effective and should be widely adopted in endoscopy training. Combining VR with conventional methods could further enhance training.
