title: Terminology for training of endoscopic submucosal dissection.
abstract: Like many other advanced endoscopic skills, to master the skill of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) requires training for a novice. The general medical terminology should be used similarly even in case of ESD training. However, it is not common for everyone to recall the same meaning from one medical term. Therefore, it is necessary to unify the meaning of medical terms and review their usage in a meeting to achieve a consensus. For this purpose, terms used in the upper gastrointestinal session, Endoscopic Forum Japan 2011, entitled 'Towards further penetration of ESD techniques - what is the role of Japanese ESD experts?', were determined beforehand as shown. Additionally, the present educational approach of ESD in Japan is simply outlined in this article.
