ICE 2011 is a unique, international congress designed to bring together for the first time the leaders in both medical gastrointestinal endoscopy and surgical endoscopy including laparoscopy.
The 10 member consortium that is constructing this one time meeting joins together for the first time the leading medical and surgical societies from the world. Never before have this cross section of multiple societies interested in gastrointestinal endoscopy come together to teach, to learn and to explore the whole subject that is encompassed in the field of endoscopy.
This meeting will differ from all other meetings e.g. NOTES Congresses, UEGW, DDW, and international surgical meetings because surgical endoscopists and medical endoscopists along with their nursing staffs will work side by side to present not only the techniques of performing the procedures but will also discuss the wide scope of surgical and medical endoscopic alternatives for management of varied gastrointestinal diseases.
The focus will be on different facets of surgical and medical endoscopy including management / avoidance of complications, emerging technologies, and innovative uses of existing technologies that cross boundaries between these groups.
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF WORLD ENDOSCOPY
World Endoscopy will host a Celebration of its 50th Anniversary from September 12-14, 2011
Ten surgical and medical organizations deeply involved in the specialty of endoscopy have joined together to commemorate the beginning of endoscopy as a separate specialty of medicine for this International Congress of Endoscopy.
Endoscopy cuts across the borders of medicine, surgery, pathology, pediatrics, geriatrics, nutrition, and radiology. Endoscopy is the motor that drives gastroenterology and surgical endoscopy is one of the most rapidly growing fields in medicine. This era of cooperation between surgeons and gastroenterologists is bringing these large specialties into closer relations.
We are standing on the threshold of huge changes in the field of endoscopy and we will show to the world the tremendous strides that have been made in endoscopy and let everybody know what we have accomplished, where we have been, and where we are going in the future.
ICE 2011 will have a strong scientific program providing multiple interactions, involving all constituents of the endoscopic community. There are planned meetings, symposia, state of the art lectures and multiple live sessions by experts from various parts of the world, who will telecast advances in endoscopy, advances in surgery, and the state of combined approaches to gastrointestinal diseases.
Young clinicians, surgeons, and nurses will join the ICE 2011 in a specially designed program to provide in depth education in this field and will be integrated fully into the Congress.
We invite you to join us in this celebration to learn, participate and meet colleagues who are making advances for better patient care through endoscopy.
Jerome D. Waye, MD - President of ICE 2011
