Dear friends and colleagues,
welcome back again to Milan, San Raffaele Scientific Institute for EURO-EUS 2024
This year after the great success of 20th edition in March 2023 we are thrilled to welcome old and new friends to join our worldwide renowned faculty during three days of intense activities.
The first day of the meeting, as always, we have organized two sessions of hands on training course with the possibility to try all the most important devices and EUS systems available on the market.
Then we have organized two days of deep immersion in live cases from the PancreatoBiliary Endoscopy and Endosonography Unit of the Pancreas Center of San Raffaele Scientific Institute and with live connections from the very best EUS Centers all over the world. We will cover Europe with Leuven University, Asia with the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, (Hyderabad), the IDL CARE Institute Mumbai and The Prince of Wales Hospital The Chinese University of Hong Kong; then we will move to the Americas connecting with the Orlando Health Digestive Health Institute, the Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades Digestivas
This year we have focused our Didactic sessions on a hot topic related to all endoscopic procedure but that, particularly in recent years with the development of EUS-Guided Therapeutic Procedures, is considered a nightmare for the young and expert endosonographers: The Complication Game. Our Faculty members will discuss in the format of video cases discussions their own complications in different EUS procedures, considering how to prevent, how to detect and how to treat.
Furthermore following the enthusiastic cooperation started last year we are continuing our cooperation with Women in Endoscopy (WIE) to support worldwide awareness on women role and importance in endoscopy.
EURO-EUS during its 20 years history has had in great considerations young endoscopists and endosonographers in particular and this year we have organized the 2nd Edition of “Next Generation EUS” organized by young experts for future experts with the aim to increase the enthusiastic participation of the 1st edition discussing new topics and sharing thoughts, experiences, ideas, doubts….
So on behalf of EURO-EUS Executive Board with my friends Julio Iglesias Garcia and Erwin Santo, we are looking forward to welcome you in Milan on 6-8 March 2024!
