The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an endoscope insertion tube (2). The insertion tube (2) has a proximal passive flexible section (20) and a distal angled section (A).The passive flexible section (20) and the angled section (A) are integrally formed.Individual cuts (201, 202) are made in the flexible section (20), provided as a tube-like element, in such a way that adjacent individual cuts (201, 202) are equidistant from one another.
