Core Tip	Endoscopy is indispensable for the evaluation of foregut conditions, supporting the formulation of a tailored plan for each surgical candidate. It provides live detailed visualization of tumor margins while it also enhances staging accuracy and risk stratification. Moreover, its utility in the management of postoperative complications in the hands of the operating surgeon is of paramount importance. Fellowships in upper gastrointestinal surgery underline the role of intraoperative endoscopy and scientific surgical societies are in alignment with the above views.
