The technological innovations and a greater attention to the users, have made more complex the organization, the process and the management of the patients. In such panorama, the technical operator of endoscopy, is the competent professional that coordinates the whole necessary organization for diagnostic-therapeutic interventions assuring their feasibility, guaranteeing efficiency and safety of environmental hygiene and strumentario and a specific and competent relief approach to the patients and their relatives.
