NEWS & DEVELOPMENTS - APRIL 2007
British Society of Gastroenterology
Meeting, March 26-29, 2007
Recent research at the Wolfson Unit was presented at the British Society of Gastroenterology meeting in Glasgow (March 26-29 2007). These included studies looking at improvement in endoscopic diagnosis using narrow band imaging and capsule endoscopy. New therapeutic methods were presented including the first use of a double balloon enteroscope for placement of a direct jejunostomy and the first UK case of the Esophyx device for endoluminal fundoplication. Continued work on colonoscopic training and follow-up also presented.
Further work continues in these areas ? for information on how to participate in any of our research trials, please contact the Unit on 020 8235 4225 or e-mail via the website.
