Intraoperative endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract is probably much more widely used than has been publicized in the recent literature. Application of this new tool to the surgical armamentarium depends only on the limits of the imagination of the operating surgeon and his endoscopist colleague, in most cases, the gastroenterologist. The operative maneuverability of current endoscopes make every portion of the gastrointestinal tract accessible to direct visualization without incision into it, both by the operating surgeon and by the endoscopist. For the full potential of this modality to be realized, the same sort of cooperation between gastrointestinal surgeon and gastroenterologist must be achieved as currently exists between cardiac surgeon and cardiologist and between transplant surgeon and nephrologist. Once this cooperation has been established, application of these tools to gastrointestinal diseases should become commonplace in gastrointestinal surgery.
术中胃肠道内镜检查的应用可能比近期文献所报道的更为广泛。将这种新工具应用于外科手术器械库仅取决于主刀外科医生及其内镜医生同事（在大多数情况下是胃肠病学家）的想象力极限。当前内镜的操作灵活性使胃肠道的每个部分都能在不切开的情况下被主刀外科医生和内镜医生直接可视化。为了充分发挥这种方法的潜力，胃肠外科医生和胃肠病学家之间必须实现目前心脏外科医生和心脏病学家以及移植外科医生和肾病学家之间所存在的那种合作。一旦建立了这种合作，将这些工具应用于胃肠道疾病在胃肠外科手术中应该会变得很常见。
