摘要

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 and endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs).

Results

A total of 273 respondents from 49 countries completed the survey. Endoscopic training was included in the general surgery curriculum for half of the participants, yet 33.8% do not perform endoscopy in current practice. Nearly half (46.9%) reported lacking confidence in managing MBS complications endoscopically. Although EBTs are available in half of the respondents’ institutions, only 23.9% perform these procedures themselves.

Conclusion

This Young-IFSO survey highlights the limited endoscopic involvement of early-career metabolic and bariatric surgeons and the need for structured training to meet the demands of modern MBS.
