Presented by SAGES

The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the Western Surgical Association (WSA) have partnered for a special SAGES flexible endoscopy course to be offered at the WSA Annual Meeting. The course, titled New Modalities in Therapeutic Flexible Endoscopy, will provide the participant with the latest information on therapeutic endoscopy as it pertains to surgeons and illustrate how flexible endoscopy is changing the face of minimally invasive surgery. This course will include a comprehensive description of available and emerging therapeutic endoscopic techniques. It will include lectures by six surgical endoscopic experts on GI management, new technologies (stents, glues and clips), introperative endoscopy (surgically-assisted endoscopy/endoscopically-assisted surgery), new endolumenal treatments for GERD and Barrett's, and the future of endoscopy, including NOTES (Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery). This course is didactic only.
