21st Düsseldorf International Endoscopy Symposium

With great pleasure I would like to invite you to the 21st Düsseldorf International Endoscopy Symposium.

Since our first meeting it has been our task to present latest developments in endoscopic imaging and minimally invasive approaches to gastrointestinal diseases. With regard to an increasing globalization in endoscopy we offer the possibility to experience the racing progress in clinical and researching aspects from different parts of the world.
