IVIC tested in animals to improve endoscopic methods
Actúa ya y escribe a la Comisión de Bioética para revertir this decision
Caracas, Venezuela. The Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) and the Center for Robotic Surgery and Minimally Invasive (CIMI) La Floresta Medical Institute, conducted joint research on new methods of endoscopic and robotic in the Experimental Surgery Unit of IVIC. Also create the infrastructure and staffing and training equipment for the Venezuelan and foreign specialists in the field of surgery experimental in general and the specific use of endoscopic surgery and robotics.
Although these products are now available in the market and contains highly explanatory manuals and will be used by high-performance professionals, has announced that it plans to investigate in animal models the development of natural orifice surgery and improve then apply the technique in patients.
We invite you to act on behalf of laboratory animals and write in own words or Based on our sample letter to the Committee on Bioethics to regulate animal research (COBIANIM) of IVIC to stop these claims.
COBIANIM is the regulator of projects involving the use of animals for research, whether they are developing as they are defined.
processes must meet certain requirements to ensure that the COBIANIM check whether the study meets the standards of humane treatment of animals in research, established both nationally and internationally and this project has not been submitted there.

Lords Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas
Care Bioethics Committee for Animal Research I am writing to you to reason to know official sources that the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) and the Center for Robotic Surgery and Minimally Invasive (CIMI) La Floresta Medical Institute, conducted joint research on new approaches in the endoscopic and robotic Experimental Surgery Unit IVIC, and we intend to study in animal models the development of natural orifice surgery and improve the technique and then apply it in patients.
The Bioethics Committee of IVIC, said countless times that, as an institution in which scientific knowledge is generated, the institution has the responsibility to ensure that the different lines of research that used animals for their tests are governed by Similar regulations based on universally recognized ethical principles.
think this research does not comply with the protocol for the use and care of animals and that procedures involving significant pain or distress and inevitable.
I have nothing against Experimental Surgery Unit, but in the use of animals with her to "perfect the technique is then applied in patients."
For this reason I come to you, to apply the rules and prevent animal drills.
Sincerely,
