Abstract

During a visit to the Hiroshima University Hospital in April of 2018, an endoscopist (GSR) observed and learned several facets from an ergonomically designed endoscopy unit which opened its doors to service in 2013. This review is a reflection of those observations during that visit, which might be helpful to a Western endoscopist.
