Young-IFSO Endoscopy Training and Education Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the increasing complexity of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) techniques, the integration of endoscopic modalities has become indispensable in both pre-, intra-, and postoperative management. This survey aimed to evaluate the current landscape of endoscopic training, practice patterns, and proficiency among early-career surgeons.

Methods

Cross-sectional study based on online survey voluntary and open to all Young-IFSO members (surgeons aged ≤ 45 years) between September and December 2024. The questionnaire addressed participants' socio-demographic characteristics, professional background, and details regarding their endoscopic training and practice. Particular emphasis was placed on current engagement in endoscopic management of MBS-related complications
