Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the opinions of general surgeons regarding endoscopy training activities and their practices in performing endoscopy, particularly in emergency situations. A survey was conducted among general surgery specialists, inquiring about their training backgrounds, current workplaces, years of practice, endoscopy training during or after residency, availability of gastroenterologists at their hospitals, and their utilization of endoscopy. Additionally, participants were asked about their views on whether general surgeons should perform emergency or elective endoscopy and the necessity of endoscopy training in general surgery. Results revealed that 63% of surveyed general surgeons received training in hospitals affiliated with universities, while 37% trained in hospitals providing training and research services. The average duration of general surgery practice among participants varied, with notable proportions practicing for 5-15 years and over 20 years. Regarding endoscopy training, over half of residents received training during residency, while others had postgraduate training or none. Respondents generally affirmed that general surgeons should perform emergency or elective endoscopy. As endoscopy becomes increasingly common, especially in areas without widespread gastroenterologist availability, integrating endoscopy training into general surgery programs is crucial for ensuring comprehensive patient care
