AB  - Over  the  past  several  decades,  flexible  endoscopy  has  shifted  the  management  of  numerous  gastrointestinal  diseases  from  the  surgeon  to  the  endoscopist.  What  had  started  as  a  diagnostic  discipline  has  now  become  one  of  advanced  therapeutic  potential.  The  concept  of  performing  endoscopic  surgery  has  become  a  reality  with  the  advancement  of  endoluminal  therapies  for  neoplasia,  gastroesophageal  (GE)  reflux,  motility  disorders  like  achalasia  and  gastroparesis,  and  obesity.  With  advanced  endoscopic  tools  at  our  disposal,  endoscopic  therapies  are  increasingly  used  as  rescue  therapies  as  well,  especially  after  foregut  surgical  interventions.  This  chapter  will  address  the  indications  and  techniques  for  upper  and  lower  flexible  endoscopy  as  well  as  the  recent  advances  in  interventional  endoscopy.
