Preface<br />

3. International Symposium on Complications in GI Endoscopy<br />

4<br />

Let's talk about it –<br />

again!<br />

Dear friends and colleagues,<br />

Being committed endoscopists, we are all concerned that even minor<br />

invasive procedures may have side effects which might result in a socalled<br />

complication. The constant evolution, not only of imaging but<br />

also of invasive or surgical concepts, requires a permanent process of<br />

reflection.<br />

As in previous years, the aims of the symposium are to<br />

identify critical incidents and complications<br />

communicate unforeseen events<br />

develop strategies to avoid or minimise complications<br />

demonstrate therapeutical measures for the eventuality of a<br />

complication<br />

which we will discuss under technical, procedural, ethical, psychological<br />

and legal aspects.<br />

A highlight of our symposium will be the state-of-the-art<br />

lecture by Prof. Christopher Williams. Christopher Williams<br />

is not only a globally reputed developer of endoscopic<br />

techniques but also the grandseigneur of colonoscopy.<br />

We are honoured that Christopher Williams accepted our<br />

invitation and allows us to share his lifelong experiences<br />

during his lecture on quality and safety in colonoscopy.
