Abstract
In 2022, a systematic search of the literature was conducted on MEDLINE and SCOPUS under the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 protocol seeking articles with the MeSH terms 'Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography' OR 'ERCP' in combination with 'simulation' OR 'simulator'. The search resulted in 41 references. A total of 19 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. Only one of the articles fulfilled the criteria of a robust validation study. Since only one of the 19 articles met the requirements for a thorough and correct validation, further studies with sufficient numbers of subjects, that evaluate complete preclinical training programs based on validated ERCP simulators are warranted.
