Diagnostic and therapeutic potentials of flexible endoscopy have been increasing. Several surgical procedures are now performed in flexible endoscopic platform. However, it is disturbing to find that only few surgeons are keen to acquire this expertise. Endoscopic skills are not optional but essential for every general surgeon. Sooner the surgical fraternity realise this, it is better for the prospects of future surgeons. Surgical societies should implement measures to highlight the importance of endoscopy training and strive to provide adequate training opportunities.
柔性内镜检查的诊断和治疗潜力一直在增加。现在有几种外科手术是在柔性内镜平台上进行的。然而，令人不安的是，发现只有少数外科医生热衷于掌握这一专业技能。内镜技术并非可有可无，而是每位普通外科医生的必备技能。外科界越早意识到这一点，对未来外科医生的前景就越好。外科协会应采取措施强调内镜培训的重要性，并努力提供充足的培训机会。
