An operator during an endoscopic procedure can operate the control processing means of the endoscope system by himself while ensuring a clean field, and the operation means of the control processing means exists in the field of view of the operator during the operation. An endoscope system that can facilitate the operation is provided. An operator A inserts an endoscope 1 into a treatment object B, illuminates it, and acquires an image thereof. A treatment target image, a plurality of operation icons 52 and a cursor are displayed on the monitor screen 50. The operator A is imaged by the imaging means 6 and specific site information including the position and movement of the image of the specific site a1 of the surgeon A in the captured image is acquired. The position and movement of the cursor on the monitor screen 50 are controlled according to the specific part information. When the cursor indicates one of the operation icons 52, processing corresponding to the operation icon 52 is executed. [Selection] Figure 1【課題】内視鏡手技中の術者が清潔野を確保しながら自ら内視鏡システムの制御処理手段を操作でき、しかも術中の術者の視界内に制御処理手段の操作手段が存在することで操作を容易化できる内視鏡システムを提供する。【解決手段】術者Ａが内視鏡１を施術対象Ｂに挿入して照明しその像を取得する。施術対象像と複数の操作アイコン５２とカーソルをモニタ画面５０に表示する。撮影手段６により術者Ａを撮影し、その撮影画像中の術者Ａの特定部位ａ１の像の位置及び動きを含む特定部位情報を取得する。モニタ画面５０上のカーソルの位置及び動きを特定部位情報に応じて制御する。カーソルが操作アイコン５２の１つを指示したとき、操作アイコン５２に応じた処理を実行する。【選択図】図１
