If that’s the case, then surgeons will need to get a lot more comfortable manipulating endoscopes, as their unintuitive controls tend to frighten novices. We stopped over at the Simbionix booth to check out their GI Mentor II endoscopy simulator, and Rob Kurtzner, the onsite sales exec, gave us a tour of its features.
