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.
