Flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the care of patients with gastrointestinal and pancreaticobiliary disorders. Compliance with accepted guidelines for the reprocessing of gastrointestinal endoscopes between patients is critical to the safety and success of their use. When these guidelines are followed, pathogen transmission can be effectively prevented. Increased efforts and resources should be directed to improve compliance with these guidelines. Further research in the area of gastrointestinal endoscope reprocessing should be encouraged. It included first: Auditing on adherence of Elibrashis center of gastroentrology and hepatology to infection control measures and practices in relation to infection control standards through a survey study using a check list about endoscopy unit and procedure characteristics and second: by taking random consecutive microbiological samples and cultures from each in use endoscope twice, immediately and 16 hours after disinfection.
