Because extraordinary benefits accrue to the patient when the surgeon can view the site of disease first-hand, the gastrointestinal surgeon must be a proficient endoscopist, and endoscopy must be part of gastrointestinal surgery. Leaders of surgical organizations and surgeon educators, upon whom rests the responsibility for shaping policy and educating medical students and residents, should remain alert to the need to maintain a substantial surgical presence in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
由于当外科医生能够直接观察疾病部位时，患者会获得极大的益处，所以胃肠外科医生必须是熟练的内镜医师，并且内镜检查必须成为胃肠外科手术的一部分。负责制定政策以及教育医学生和住院医师的外科组织领导者和外科教育工作者，应始终留意在胃肠内镜检查中保持大量外科医生参与的必要性。
