This article reports the results of the 17th Nationwide Survey conducted by the JSES in 2022 and 2023. A questionnaire assessing the current status of endoscopic surgery was distributed to institutions nationwide. Since 1990, a total of 4\u2009286\u2009446 endoscopic procedures have been performed in Japan, with a continuous increase in most surgical fields. Although the number of procedures temporarily declined during the COVID\u201019 pandemic, endoscopic surgical activity steadily recovered and increased across all disciplines. Furthermore, the use of robot\u2010assisted surgery has expanded rapidly in multiple specialties, reflecting broader clinical adoption and technological progress. These nationwide data demonstrate that endoscopic surgery is widely and safely performed across all surgical specialties in Japan. The findings of this multidisciplinary survey provide valuable insights into current practice patterns and will contribute to further development, standardization, and safe dissemination of endoscopic surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ases.70302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,27]],"date-time":"2026-04-27T06:34:34Z","timestamp":1777271674000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Multidisciplinary
