GASTRO 2009 Bericht: Perspektiven der Endoskopie

Die 17. United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW), die im November 2009 in London stattfand, war von der United European Gastroenterology Federation, der World Gastroenterology Organisation, der World Organisation of Digestive Endoscopy und der British Society of Gastroenterology als ein gemeinsames Meeting mit dem Weltkongress für Gastroenterologie unter dem Namen GASTRO 2009 organisiert worden.

Es wurden viele Abstracts präsentiert. Sie konzentrierten sich auf Innovationen und neue Techniken oder betonten Themen mit einem Bezug zur klinischen Praxis. Dieser Bericht konzentriert sich auf Vorträge und einige wenige Poster, die aktuelle Fortschritte und die Forschung in der gastrointestinalen Endoskopie widerspiegeln. In einer kurzen Übersicht unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Literatur.
