Introduction

Although already a well-established technique, colonoscopy has featured prominently at recent Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meetings. Efforts have been made to set standards of practice, to improve its diagnostic and therapeutic utility, and even to replace it. Colonoscopy remains a particularly attractive subject for clinical research and debate, and this was evidently still the case at this year’s DDW.
