    Abstract 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.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health crisis, and surgeons are at increased occupational risk of contracting COVID-19. The impact of the disease on prevalent general surgical practice is uncertain and continues to evolve. The study aimed to study the impact of COVID-19 on general surgical practice in India and the future implications of the pandemic. A survey questionnaire was designed and electronically circulated 1 month after India entered a national lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic, amongst members of Indian Association of Gastro-intestinal Endo-surgeons (IAGES), a surgical association with nearly eight thousand members from across the country. Survey questions pertaining to pre-COVID era surgical practices, impact on current practice, and financial implications were asked. Responses were collected and statistically analyzed. One hundred fifty-three surgeons completed the survey, of which only 9.2% were women. Majority (41%) were into practice for more than 20 years; 36.6% were into private practice at multiple hospitals (free-lancers). Amongst the respondents, 41.8% had mainly laparoscopic practice with mean outpatient consultation of 26 patients/day and elective surgeries of 43 cases/month prior to lockdown. Post-lockdown, daily outpatient consults reduced to 4 patients per day, and 77% had not performed a single elective procedure. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) chemoprophylaxis was reported by 52% surgeons. Personal protective equipment (PPE) was used by 52% for all cases, while 71.5% stated there are insufficient guidelines for future surgical practice in terms of safety. A drop of more than 75% of their monthly income was experienced by 52% surgeons, while 22% faced 50-75% reduction. One third (33%) of respondents own a hospital and are expecting a monthly financial liability of 2.25 million rupees (nearly 30,000 US dollars). COVID-19 has led to a drastic reduction in outpatient and elective surgical practices. There is a definite need for guidelines regarding safety for future surgical practices and solutions to overcome the financial liabilities in the near future.

    Abstract Context: Competence in flexible endoscopy is essential for all surgeons during this era of minimal access surgery. However, fewer surgeons have expertise in endoscopy due to a lack of training and interest. The Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons devised a short-structured training course in the art and science of endoscopy.
    Aims: This study aimed to find the impact of the endoscopy training course (Endoscopic Fellowship of Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons [EFIAGES]) in improving the endoscopic skill of surgeons.
    Settings and design: Twenty-two-part electronic survey forms were sent to all 375 candidates who took the course between 2016 and 2019 for this retrospective observational study.
    Subjects and methods: The following outcome measures were noted, namely technical competence in endoscopy before the course, delegate feedback about the course modules, volume of endoscopies before and after the course and quality indicators such as reaching up to duodenum (D2) and caecum before and after the course.
    Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis of the impact of the course was done using Chi-square test.
    Results: Responses from 262 out of a total of 375 candidates were received. Seventy-seven per cent of trainees were pleased with content and mode of conduct of the course. The quality indicator of gastroscopy with the ability to reach D2 in 90% of the caseload was achieved by only 28% of trainees before the EFIAGES. This increased to 72% of candidates after the course and similar results were seen with colonoscopy also. Most of the candidates noted a distinct improvement in their endoscopic navigation skills subsequent to the course.
    Conclusions: Endoscopy skill transfer was possible with a short-structured endoscopy course. The surgical fraternity should realise the importance of endoscopy skills in the current era of surgical practice.

    Abstract These are inter-society guidelines for performance of laparoscopic surgery during COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the way of surgical practice. The safety of healthcare workers and patients is being challenged. It is prudent that our surgical practice should adapt to this rapidly changing health environment. The guidance issued is based on global practices and national governmental directives. The Inter-Society Group urges you to be updated with the developing situation and evolving changes.
