Mini-invasive techniques of operations have a rapidly growing importance with respect to finding out the most considerate way for diagnostic examinations and for definitive attendance of patients in recent years. Endoscopic methods can be found in various fields of modern medicine namely in surgical branches (laparoscopy, arthroscopy, thoracoscopy etc.) and noninvasive branches (bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, FES etc.) The importance of education and experience with endoscopy increases quickly. Our department has changed the embalming method with formaldehyde to the method created by professor Thiel two years ago. New method preserves plasticity and nature of soft tissues of impregnated bodies and gives a wide usability of cadavers for imitation of surgical manipulations. Based on these possibilities we reconstructed one lecture hall to operative theatre. Operative table and universal endoscopic tower for rigid endoscopies were bought. In the whole dissection part of our department multimedial digital technology of audio-video network with wire-less connection to internet and the graphic studio for making high quality educational materials from videosequence to large area printed posters were created. Several demo arthroscopies of knee, carpal and shoulder joints and laparoscopy for orientation in the abdominal cavity with organs in situ on the special technique embalmed bodies were shown during dissection courses of the first and the second year students of medicine in this year. Moreover simulations of meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament surgery in the knee joint with grafting from patellar ligament were demonstrated. Patient was drapped and positioned as same as in real operation. We plan to arrange the educational courses for young physicians in future. They will have an unique opportunity to become acquainted with endoscopic technique and instruments for various kinds of endoscopies. We do not restrain from testing of cutting-edge approaches in endoscopic management of different diseases. Creation of the educational centre is an explicit answer not only to question about necessity of clinical anatomy education in curriculum of medical faculties but about postgradual education of young physicians, too
