COURSE OBJECTIVES AND 

DESCRIPTION 

The 25 th European Workshop on Gastroenterology and 

Endotherapy follows the established successful pattern of 

combining live demonstrations with a direct interaction 

between the participants, the moderators and the experts 

performing the procedures. 

The overall goal of this course is to provide information 

about current technology and to enhance knowledge in gastroenterology 

and endotherapy. Moreover, new techniques 

will be demonstrated and discussed with the audience, 

using voting system. The procedures will be performed by 

expert physicians selected for their outstanding teaching 

capabilities. Endotherapy is becoming more and more complex 

and fascinating new technologies have been implemented 

over the last few years. All of these will be demonstrated 

and future prospects will be discussed during live 

demonstrations and State of the Art lectures. 

This meeting is not only designed for endoscopists and 

gastroenterologists but also for trainees and GI nurses. 

The meeting is taking place at the BRUSSELS EXHIBITION 

CENTRE, located in the North area of Brussels. The 

Workshop will be held in the AUDITORIUM 2000, a comfortable 

half circled meeting room guaranteeing good visibility 

of the screen. This year, the HALL 10 adjacent to the 

Auditorium 2000 will host the Technical Exhibition offering 

to the participants and companies a pleasant atmosphere 

for meetings and discussion. 

The audio-visual transmission will be performed from 4 

endoscopic suites located at Erasme Hospital and each procedure 

will be performed by 2 physicians, one being a member 

of the local staff. Live video demonstrations will 

include endotherapy of esophageal diseases, GERD, superficial 

GI tumors, portal hypertension, upper GI bleeding, biliopancreatic, 

small bowel and colonic diseases, as well as 

percutaneous cholangiographies, transjugular liver biopsies 

and new techniques potentially deserving discussion. 

2 medical quizzes (biliopancreatic diseases and gastrointestinal 

diseases) will be presented. 

6 State of the Art lectures will cover the most important 

and new fields of interest in therapeutic endoscopy and gastroenterology. 

Each half day of live demonstrations will be 

dedicated to a precise topic in relationship with the 

State of the Art lecture. This will however not be exclusive 

in order to illustrate the diversity of therapeutic endoscopy. 

We look forward to welcoming you in Brussels 

to celebrate our 25 th Anniversary !
