A friendly welcome to our January 2020 Newsletter. We wish you all a very happy, healthy, and successful new year.

Recent decades have seen amazing progress in minimal access procedures. Unfortunately, minimally invasive techniques have been developed in separate and distinct specialties and are inevitably limited by the expertise of individual specialists such as surgeons, radiologists, and gastroenterologists. In the future, the best aspects of minimally invasive techniques from separate specialties will be combined in order to create optimal hybrid approaches for improved patient care and quality of life. We will have to enhance hybrid approaches through cutting-edge research, develop the next generation of medical devices, and train the physicians of the future.
|
The boundaries between medical, surgical, and radiological disciplines must be reorganized to produce multidisciplinary teams proficient in all tools relevant to patients.

In this special January edition, discover a short editorial by Anthony Kalloo, Chairman of Gastroenterology at Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, Maryland, USA), clearly indicates the importance of educating surgeons and gastroenterologists to the complex procedures of interventional gastroenterology. Indeed, it is only by working together that gastroenterologists and surgeons will overcome the limits of their art.
|
I hope that this will encourage the new generation of surgeons to work in synergy with gastroenterologists and vice versa.
