Double Balloon Enteroscopy has truly opened up the field of small bowel investigation and treatment. While examination of the entire small bowel is now achievable, importantly therapy can also be performed allowing endoscopists to offer more to patients suffering from small bowel disorders than ever before. 

This DBE Workshop is designed to provide an interactive experience on all aspects of DBE. It should benefit consultants, trainees and nursing and technical staff with an interest in the procedure. Indications, therapeutic modalities and technique will be discussed in depth. Live demonstrations of DBE procedures will be given by national and international experts in the field.
